My friend bought a brand new iMac 24" and guess what happened

Wow! What a machine! State of the art, and the 'first at that configuration' for this part of the world they said. It gleamed, it glowed, it made photographs look better than ever before, it played music, it refused to make coffee. It was heavy with RAM and HARD DISK SPACE, pregnant with performance. Its UBER cool (learnt that one from my kids).

I was jealous, envious and sadly had to look at the damn thing everyday as it sat in my office.
I want(ed) one.

Well, hey presto, walk in one morning after about 6 days use and it would not start. like a car without a battery, an automatic, not even a push start. My friend looked glum, I was amazed. Apple seller arrived, sent it off to the Apple Service centre and they promised him a new machine by the end of the week.

That was 3 weeks ago... the seller still makes promises, the replacement has become 'a spare part'

Oh I would just love one of those machines.... but the servicing.

Dear Mr. H we miss you - you know who you are.

In the meantime, the Blind Man is still groping in the dark.

Anyone want to buy a new Apple?
