Ya, I prefer the OSx also. Wish they would stop dropping the ball. I wasnt impressed the last time i had to hit the iWait store.
Had to bring in the macbook pro, last of the 17" series due to video problems. It was the poor solder thing, it wasnt showing the config/debug for the tech. They were going to have me cash up $300 for the repairs. Last min it finally dropped the black screen and worked. Took about 5min after boot to show anything but black screen.
Buddy was telling me much later what the problem was with the solder on the video cards thing. Had no clue but glad they covered it. No apple care and even if it was, $300. Think I was more unhappy to sit there with 30 other ppl at this giant table watching 2 screens flipping thru the same 4 pics. What a waste, they could have at the least showed app commercials, games, reviews, upcoming tech, or just plain old apple commercials while I wait like cattle.
I really hate when I have to go in there, I feel like I am being rude if I have to hunt someone down to inform them I am there for my appointment. No central person or area to let them know. Just odd to me.
I will have to do the firmware upgrade on one of my mac pros this year to enable it for the new OSx coming. Not sure if I care at this point, my other Pro wont be able to get that update, so it will be stuck at El Crapiton.
Cant complain honestly, got them from the local college for $350 each at different years. Think I ran Snow Leopard up till Mavericks? I know ppl that still have powerPC and are still working ok. Using the one as my gaming rig with the upgraded card. It works good, not sure when I last flipped it over to the mac side. Just easier to do my non gaming stuff on another mac and use that one just for gaming.
Not sure whats going on at the big house, but I am thinking there needs to be a changing of the guards. Too much stuff with bugs and problems slowly creeping out, plus the replacement option on broken items doesnt seem to be as easy as it was. Seems they have been cracking down on what they will replace for free. Feels like its a slow change to get ppl to pony up money now vs how it was. Maybe I am imagining that? Doesnt feel like it though.
