disillusioned

I have always been a fan of Macintosh computers and Apple products. They look great, and the software is awesome.

However. . . . .

I have a Mac Mini, one of the first off the blocks, and it was shipped without the airport card - many an hour wasted trying to work out why it wouldn't work!

I also have an iPod mini - 18 months in it just stopped working - $95 later I have a reconditioned iPod with a 3 month warranty under the battery replacement program.

Now Reid's iPod photo has crapped its pants - also about 18 months old. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the battery, and it is making some strange noises. Reid is pretty pissed that now he has a $600 shiny white brick and wont be replacing it with another iPod.

One of my gripes about studying was my laptop was too heavy and carting it back and forth to uni was a hassle, so I was going to buy a new MacBook. Of course now that the study is on hold I don't really need a new laptop, but the MacBooks are full of problems - the white ones are turning yellow, the mag safe power cord is catching on fire, and they overheat so much that you can't sit them on your lap.

I am sure there are several websites like it, but apple defects outlines a multitude of problems with Apple products.


In my mind Apple is slowly turning into crapple! bummer :(
