[quote author="Svart"]You sure do have a chip on that shoulder Gwaggin390.
Someone asked for experiences and I gave mine, then was actually compelled to defend myself from another forum member who denounced that experience as FALSE because you didn't have the exact same experiences.
I don't like being called a liar just because you don't want to believe me.[/quote]
Yeah, i have a chip on my shoulder about conveying ACTUAL FACTS,
not hearsay and rhetoric.
"hey, vista sucks, those cool Mac TV ads tell me so..........."
see, there, i know evrything about a PC, having never owned one.....
It sounds like you have ONE, ACTUAL experience with soldering a graphix card.
Apple doesn't make the graphix cards, they just buy them like every other manufacturer does.
I never said you were a liar, i just said i think there's more to your friends story. When you tell me they took the powerbook in and they gave her a price, that just reaks of OUT OF WARRANTY.
OR, if it was a local shop, the shop was looking to screw her.
When i've seen them fix dropped and cracked powerbooks
(though they did shy away from drops with bad screens)
the story you relay is just laughable.
Again, more to the story, or just out of warranty.
I know they have had problems with certain models, i personally, have just never had one of them.
And the only Iphone "fiasco" as you need to call it
(as i'm sure you don't ACTUALLY OWN ONE)
is that they made it only available through AT+T and made it all about exclusivity.
One caveat with my experiences might be that i always buy applecare(the extended warranty)
and with the "stories" you tell about your friend, and the G4 powerbooks would be covered under applecare.
I'm not sure how differently they treat the reg. warranty and applecare customer these days,
but if you have the same or related problem with your comp, after the THIRD time it goes in for repair, YOU GET A BRAND NEW COMPUTER.
I've seen it happen.
A friend had a single 1.8 G5, had a weird motherboard issue,
went in 3 times in a year. He called them out on the "3 times" rule and as they no longer made the SINGLE 1.8 any more, he got a brand new
dual 2.0 and was happy as a clam.
So again, i ask, HP/Dell/Gateway/etc. ever been that good to you???
