My. We really do live in a cushy age when ink is spilled describing the horror, the agony of having to wait two weeks for a custom built computer to be exchanged, free of charge.

While I don't give a crap one way or another about either Macs or PCs, I have to wonder at someone who is so dense they think that paying whatever the he** Apple charges these days(a substantial amount I would assume, above 1100 bucks)and then having to send it back right out of the box is no big deal and the customers should be jumping for joy because it only took two weeks to get a replacement that may or may not work when they get it.

These people are pi**ed for a very good reason. The computer is NOT free and if you think a replacement should cost them something then you are one sick puppy. Anyone charging for replacing a brand new computer that doesn't work out of the box better have a good lawyer.

But you do care to take the time to write. How kind.

So dense, I are. Thanks for noticing. My specific gravity, although much heavier than air is only slightly less dense than water. Just so. So pure, I float!

Funny, I don't remember stating or implying a customer should be charged for defective merchandize. Perhaps I should revert to my native tongue, Fortran. Y' know, nowadays almost nobody speaks fluent Fortran any longer. PL/1?! Forgedaboudit! Now it's all C++, Cocoa, and CSS. So crude. So abrupt. No one takes the time to craft a nice modular bit of work... but I digress. Now, back to our regularly scheduled tongue lashing! Give it to me baby!!.

then you are one sick puppy.

I don't feel too well today, but I missed lunch.

Have a nice Thanksgiving, and thanks for your kind thoughts so well couched.
