Apple !$!@ pt IV
« Meldware In Washington DC at DCLUG and Running MS Windows with Pride | Main | Apple gets it right...mostly (Fun with Apple pt V) »I whined to a fellow LUG member who works at the Apple Store the other night about my really "fun" Apple experiences. He explained the whole $250 isn't enough, they need another $100 to not suck. I knew this. It only reinforces my bad attitude. So today because I was bad mouthing my Laptop's parent company...my mouse button broke. Now it it just wasn't working, no big deal hook up an external mouse...take it in as you have time... However, it broke in a stuck down position. You can imagine my pure pleasure at this. I think I need a backup laptop, to quote Q-Bert: "#!$!@#".
So this is probably how this will roll. It is futile to call Apple because they feel I might be wrong that the mouse button that is physically stuck down (apparent to any moron who attempts to press it) is broken. It will require a "genius" to attempt to press it and realize that indeed it is stuck down. Next, the "genius" after 10 minutes of dorking with the computer, will realize that they do not have the part and I must bring the laptop back in for repair. It will take a number of days. Then they have me come back in...wait at the counter well past my appointment type just to print out a sheet of paper and take the laptop into the back room. I will mumble to myself and plot their deaths. I'll go catch a movie, and get the laptop back. In three weeks another key will break.
Mike, I changed my mind. Marc was right about Apple...even the magnet power isn't worth all this.
