Apple licks nuts. Fanboy style.



then again, I can see why people are liking them more and more with vista being as horrible as it is.

Bottom line is, Apple as a company sucks *** and even though they have effective marketing their products are extremely limited and regulated.

Well put. I like the way that you have stated your opinion without being hostile to those who hold a contrary view. Too often we see openly provocative posts that seem aimed at generating a vociferous rebuttal, and such exchanges often deteriorate into tawdry arguments and personal attacks which are highly entertaining. Have a nice day.

I bought my memory from macmall when I bought the notebook, there's a lot of cheaper memory providers.
Yeah, that's where I got mine.





I think we already broke the thing. Last night Edna was looking at funny pics of cats or something, and the computer just started screaming this horrible sound, and wouldn't stop. She got it to stop (shut if off, I think), but after turning it back on, the screen would randomly disappear. I dunno what could be wrong, we haven't installed anything or messed with it much, I'll play with it some today.

I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers and what happens with the cat pics, see, is that the cat gets loose in the case and gets across some wires, and like gets electrocuted, hence the horrible screaming sound, duh.

I bought mine through an apple certified reseller and they installed it for me, so it's all covered under the apple warranty.

Ditto, I liked that option.
