Not that they will....


Would it also surprise you that I have a concealed carry permit?

What red blooded American doesn't?

HP wanted $104 just to troubleshoot. Of course I talked to "Linda" whose
real name is Deependra Guptda Mukkalukkafukkachucka.
I plug the god damn thing in, and I get a blue pulsating light as seen
above.

I bought this for my mom last Christmas. Isn't that just wonderful?
Aren't I a good son?
No. I'm a terrible son, I should have bought her a ****ing Mac - but No,
the HP was cheaper.
So let's run down the cost of this piece of ****.

$700 Original cost
$50 Shipping
$100 Tech "troubleshoot" cost
$150+ Repair labor (guestimate)
$160 Motherboard (per ebay)
$20 Power adapter (if that's the problem)
$1,180 Total

WOW! So tell me... How should I quantify the downtime? She runs her own
business. I'll make up a number. $1,000
So the total comes to $2,180.

Where are the savings?

They wanted $100+ just to talk to me? How dare they. How can they
justify that? Doctors and Psychiatrists don't charge that much. Plumbers
don't charge that much for an on site service call, but these douchebags
want that much just to troubleshoot? I understand a change for repair -
but just to talk? Not even one hour of free phone time.
Call girls (not street walkers) run $200 for the first hour. So talking
to some stinky third world crusty chemical infested dumbass accented
Maheshwara worshiping thing; costs half as much as it would to nail a 21
year old model??!

One more Apple customer.

If I sold this on eBay I would get $400 for it. So I'm supposed to spend
25% of the total cost just to talk to another Guptda
Mukkalukkafukkachucka so he can tell me I need to pay another $200 to
replace the board?


Last year when I called Apple for a problem with a MB 13" I talked to an
American. Had an RMA in ten minutes, box was sent to me the next day,
shipped to their repair center, and was returned in two more days. It
started on Monday, I had my machine back on Friday.


Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. There's never any problem with Macs:
Apple fixes them all. Look:

http://www.google.ca/search?&q=macbook+problems

5,430,000 entries, English and French

See also:
http://www.appledefects.com/?cat=6

And I don't pretend PC do any better. When computers are subjected to
falls, knocks, heat and cold, humidity, spills, etc. it's never much
good for them.

That's why I say desktops are best. And if it happens that your desktop
is a standard PC, you just unscrew 2 bolts and see what going on. For
memory tests, you don't even have to open it!

If you really need a computer to go to school or travel, then, the best
is a NetBook, preferably with a free fall sensor or, better yet, an SSD
drive.

If something goes wrong, well, you can bring it to a specialized local
repair shop. You can get an estimate for, roughly, $35 - $50, often
deductible from repairs.

If you're used to working in electronics and have at least a soldering
iron at hand, there are instructions all over the net on how to open the
little machines. That's not for the faint of heart...

Another option is to buy a prolonged guarantee. They're expensive...

Any way you put it, Macs or PCs, laptops and netbooks are more failure
prone. If you're stupid enough to pay $104 for support from Linda in
India, what can I say, it's you're problem, dummy.

Please, don't make me cry

Wrong. They honored my warranty a year after I bought the
machine.
Stop making stuff up, its dangerous - you'll end up believing

You've had a 27" iMac for over a year?
Wait they fixed your Apple under warranty because it was a year
old?
How come your Mac broke so quickly. Don't Macs just work?
Ir was a year and a half old.

If fact, if Macs just work. Why is there a class action suit
against
with thousands of plantiffs claiming their brand new 27" iMacs
wouldn't work and Apple denied the the problem?
**** happens. Look at the reliability surveys - if you can read.

If Macs just work. Why sell Apple Care at all?
Again, because machines break - just like everything.

If Machines just break.... like your P.O.S. Mac.... in less than a
year. Why are you complaining about the HP that lasted longer than
your P.O.S. Mac. Make up your mind your circular arguing ****stick.

The Apple you paid 3x broke faster than the HP. LOL

At least he's consistent -- consistently clueless.

You're confused.
The HP is broke. My first MB had a problem with the Bluetooth - fixed
under warranty in three days.
The HP is completely dead - as in unusable. The pubjab HP call girl
wanted $100. The only time I give a girl who won't give me her real
name $100 is if if cum at the end.

Aha. So your name is "John", not Justin.

So it would have been free if you weren't impotent. Seems like your
problem to me.

I have pills for that.


Take a double dose. You and Rush Limpdick.

Would it surprise you I voted for Obama?


Ah, our great Marxist hope! I voted for him too, a decision that I am
starting to regret. He is nowhere near as left-wing as he seemed before the
election, and he also seems to be fairly incompetent, and in spite of his
Democratic Congress, almost totally ineffectual.


actually I agree.
I would have liked to have seen a McCain presidency. a war with Iran
and north Korea would have been beautiful. With the 65,000 US deaths in
the first two years a draft would have been necessary.
In which case I would have dodged it - of course.
Probably via bribes. The Amalfi coast would have been my new stomping
grounds.


Can't blame you there. When I lived in England, I used to nip down to Italy
almost every chance I got and loved it when the band had a gig there.

Those in California, where they don't issue them unless you're really

I'm sorry did you say something about predictability?


Yes, yours. Thanks for complying.

So why are you bitching about your old used up HP? You just admitted that
"machines break - like everything else". Maybe you're one of those jerks
who complains about everything. Get a life.

So why are you bitching about your imaginary HP?




Did you see the video?
How do you figure its imaginary? Honest question.
Are you blind as well as stupid? Did I search teh intarnetz for these
specific videos?
Its not like you have any industry or job experience so why is this so
hard for you to believe?
I replaced the battery and AC adapter and this is the result.
Yes, I let the battery charge.

Here's a video of the ficticious HP next to the ficticious Macbook Pro, on
the ficticious desk taken by a fictitious camera.

http://tinypic.com/r/of7y21/6


How do you 'Dozers put up with this kind of quality? Can't you afford an
Apple? Are you the kind of asshole who buys a Dodge Caliber, brags and
buys another one every year?
Are you so set in your ways you refuse to learn something new? You'll get
really far with that attitude.


Actually, I have gotten far - very far. Now the problem is how to get far
from you and your ilk. Trouble is - you all are like roaches at the trough.
