An Open Apology

[Bryan Bowler]

Ok...I've been somewhat vocal toward a few forum members lately and I apologize.

I've been bothered by the constant whining about delivery dates when the Apple has said "sometime in November" from the get go, the occasional "I ordered an extra magic mouse why on earth did they send it to me before my iMac" post, and the infamous "how could they possibly charge me for Applecare" even though their machine is probably going to ship in a few days. It's been nothing but a constant whine-fest.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I want to apologize. Let's see: You pre-ordered an iMac knowing that it wasn't available until sometime in November and now you're pissed because it hasn't shipped on November 3rd? You ordered an accessory and Apple has shipped it to you once it became available? You placed an order of your own free well before a product has even been released? And now you want to moan and complain about perceived problems even thought you haven't actually received (or used) your Mac?

Nah, there's no need to apologize. I fully stand behind everything I've said.

Dude what's your point? If you don't like a thread then don't read it. This is not a hard concept to understand and your whining is just as bad as the crap you're whining about. What a total waste of a thread.

Jessica,

It's my somewhat humorous attempt to highlight the ridiculous amount of complaining that accompanies the release of any new product. There's the excitement phase which lasts a day or two. Then there's the "oh no, don't buy it because there's a problem" phase. And then things are rounded out by the "I'm pissed at Apple" phase when we are getting close to the actual ship date.

You do have to admit, it's a little crazy don't ya think?
