Kind of a sweeping statement that has no teeth? If you look around the boards, like at MacFixit, you'll see they are quite angry at Apple at times. There is and will always be a smattering of lemons that will cause the buyer to go nutty. Having purchased several million dollars of computers just in the last few years, I KNOW that the DOA/return rate for Apple is still WAY better than it's PC cousins. But one lemon should not deter anyone from losing sight of the product line's quality as a whole. That being said, I am aghast that Apple has the warranty they do, and that returning a defective product can be. at times, a horror. One other thought, when I read these stories online like this, I often wonder just what REALLY transpired in his conversations with Apple. We don't know the whole story so I believe nothing as a rule. There was mention of how to act when Apple is called, and I can tell you first hand that it's very true. A professional, courteous manner gets results by god. And it's not kissing ass, it's acting like an adult. Oh, and the whole "Apple zealot" thing is so passe!
We all use what we use.
I believe nothing as a rule either! Thats why, whenever someone becomes an apologist for apple by criticizing PC's, they lose all credibility in my book.
Someone answer this question...if we are talking about apples...why would you bring up oranges. Seems to be a defense mechanism to me. When you talk about Mcdonalds, do you bring up Burger King or Taco Bell?
Normal Person: I went to Burger King and they forgot my fries. Those idiots...I'm pissed. Then I went back, and they told me that they could only give me "refurbished" fries. I asked what that was and the manager told me that they would just drop an old batch of fries back in the grease to warm it up. I'm never going to BK again...
BK Zealot: Yeah, but 5 years ago, I went to McDonalds and the bun was soggy. It took them 7 minutes to get me a new burger...BK only takes 5.8 minutes...but I have NEVER had a problem with BK and I have been served over 1 billion times. BK is so much better than Mc$. Switch back to Mc$ if you want, but remember , there will always be bad food - and I can assure you, since I have been to BK over 1 billion times and Mc$ over 10 million times - I know for a fact that Mc$ messes up so much more than BK - (forget the proportions). By the way, you are an idiot...Ronald Mcdonald is the most evil clown of all!
BK Zealot2: Yeah, why are you feeding this Mc$ troll...he is insulting our saviour, The Whopper...lets castrate him so he won;t be able to breed any Mc$ loving kids...Mc$ is evil, all they are worried about is making money. I am tired of people complaining about BK on a BK board...JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD BAD FOOD AT BK DOESN'T MEAN ALL BK FOOD IS BAD!
BK Zealot3: Yeah, I just love the sexy fries at BK...especially the way the light glistens off the perfectly placed salt crystals waiting to dissolve in my mouth. And the packaging it comes in is just great...sexy, so much better than the way Mc$ throws everything together. I save all of my BK packaging because it is the most artistic, trend making packaging the universe has ever seen. Oh yeah...did anyone see BK in that new movie, Elf? BK will overtake Mc$ in 3 years, 2 days, 22 hours and 59 secs.
