Apple, you're letting me down
Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at 4:08PM
I could brag about my lack of viruses and how good-looking my iBook is, and how much fun it is to use, but I'm tapping away on a cheap backup PC in my office instead. Why? My iBook is in for repair. Again. Logic board. Again. I love Apple, but I'm back here in Windows world. I wish I could quit you.

What is even worse is that the new Macs, (according to my sources,) are using a Windows platform because they are now installing the new Microsoft chips. Give it up Bro. You are fighting a losing battle.
Keep the faith, Darryl. Turn your back on these heretics.
Ahhh the greener grass on the other side of the fence ever proves elusive.
Trish, the problem with the greener grass on the other side of the fence is that you have to mow it more often....
Well, I didn't give a comparison on how often my PC used to break down! The good news was the Mac was back after about 8 hours at no charge to me. Nice! To paraphrase Churchill, "Tomorrow my Mac will be fixed and you'll still be using Windows!"
I've had my Powerbook G4 for two years this week, and I'm a serious user in a less than laptop friendly environment. My machine runs as fast today as when I bought it. I don't know anyone with a PC who can say the same thing, especially down here. Glad you're back in business!
As my lightsaber quietly humms in the background I stand ready to defend myself against....the dark side. Emperor Jobs rules with an Iron Fist. "We shall not license! Our own proprietary hardware and software to the max!" However the rebels have been making inroads...CPU's by Intel....operating systems incorporating code from..(gulp)..BSD Unix!!!!! What next...a deal with the ruthless pirate Gates??? Give me freedom! Give me Linux!!!! (Oops my heretical streak is showing). :-) Ah yes computers...love them when they work the way we want them to..and when they fail, how we'd like to start them on an intimate relationship with a sledgehammer. Ain't technology wonderful???
