My G4 quit on me last week when I dropped it from five feet! (a weakness!) Of course I spent the 300 get to the screen and hinge fixed after having to hop over to the Dell.
Forgot to mention that in addition to the damage fix, Apple also gave me a new keyboard, and trackpad. Also, NO CHARGE. I was also two months past Applecare, but had no previous claims in 3 years.
The only other Apple product I had serviced was a 3rd gen iPod. They sent me a new one. I had dropped it, as well.
I was too lazy to take pics of my desk (it's way too messy, too), but a quick peruse of google images gave me a close second! I have a 24" ViewSonic AND the 20" Apple. Life is good. I sometimes hook up the 42" Vizeo for HULU, etal. TV, Nascar, and FR all together in real time, real life! I carry an iPhone in my pocket...
So I guess loyalty and honor mean nothing to you. You fanny around with your Dell tramp while a tragically mutilated G4 suffers the humiliation of hinge therapy as she wonders if you'll ever return.
Maybe the Dell would enjoy a nice trip TO ARGENTINA!!!
