Default Why I buy Apple computers

About three years ago, I sold my very decent IBM Thinkpad, made the
plunge, and bought an Apple MacBook Pro. Never had any problems with it..
Today, I was using it and the screen started flashing a little. Weird.
So I called Apple. I'm out of warranty, but...there was an issue with
the video cards on these machines, so Apple extended service for that
item to four years. So I'm covered. The tech made an appointment for me
at the Apple store. I'm not sure what the repair is, but "it will be
fixed," I was assured, and at no cost to me.


Interestingly, this laptop cost me less than the Thinkpad I had. I had
that machine for about five years, I think, before I sold it.


Boating related, because I run chart plotting software on the Macbook Pro.


When are you going? I'd like to meet you there!


Maybe Harry will be in Beddington Maine... on Dec 14 & 15th.
Why don't you come on up & find out?

Yeah...I need to go where it's colder than it is here...

Poor iLoogy...he can't follow simple directions, as previously stated.
These included his providing via email complete verifiable
identification, no "negotiating," time and place set up via email,
no discussion of details in newsgroup, et cetera. No ticket, no
laundry, no matter what he ejaculates here.

No, Harry, you changed that, you said that you'd meet me in public in
Huntingtown, have you forgotten? Now why would you need verifiable id?
I've not asked you for that. I don't care. You are simply picking nits
because you are such a cowardly ****!

Here are your exact words:

The little **** can meet me on the street adjacent to the house. It is a
public street and therefore a public place.

I accept, when do you want to do this?

That sure is a great way to take care of American Laborers:

I "frequent" two Apple stores. At both stores, I know personnel who work
as sales help. The majority of sales help consists of college students
working part-time, and making between $12 and $15 an hour, plus
benefits. That's above average for retail employees in this area. I
don't personally know any of the "Genius" crew, but $30 an hour plus
benefits seems reasonable for first-line technicians who perform simple
diagnoses and repairs.


You should unionize them out of a job....

Hahahhahaaha
