Apple Rocks!

Actually, the credit probably shouldn't go to Apple, but rather to the guy at "the Bar" that hooked me up. My iPod quit working last week. Zilch, nada. It literally quit showing signs of life - wouldn't start whatsoever. I tried all the tricks on Apple's support site and discussion groups, but nothing helped. I even called Apple Support and a gentleman helped me troubleshoot the thing for a half hour. At the end of the conversation, the guy gave me a URL and said to try all the tips, and if they didn't work - then send it in. I asked if I should stop by the Apple Store and have it looked at? He said, "nope, they can't help you." Not believing him, I visited the Store today with my dead iPod. They verified it was dead and gave me a new one.

That's right - in and out in 15 minutes with a brand spankin' new iPod - now affectionately named "Whitey." Life is good in Apple land. Of course, after hearing all the G5 propaganda in the store, I might need to seek some professional help. Thank God they didn't have any in the store - I might've actually bought one!

I don't know that I'll get a G5 after all. I did some pricing online today, and since I like to buy my (new) computers fully loaded, it's not a cheap thing: <strong>$5,960.95</strong>. That includes the 23" monitor (drool) and 1 GB of RAM.

I have always (knock on wood) had good experiences with Apple's support replacing items and fixing items where needed. I don't think I am in the minority either. That being said I have heard of some people who have had bad expereiences too. Generally I think Apples does a great job. It is interesting to see read about your love/hate relationship it seems with Apple software and hardware. One day you seem to love it the next day you are ripping on it for being to slow. I know you are just ranting. :) I still love your weblog!

If you want the very top of the line fastest PC you're talking dual 2gig G5 or dual 3 gig Xenon. One's faster than the other, depends on who you ask. I think it's the G5 system. Price them out. Buy the cheaper faster one. The Apple!
