Okay, I reread my rant about Apple this morning. My Mac is only getting worse. Apple is not going to do anything. I’m tired of it. You guys are tired of it. I’m saving my $$ for a new machine - I don’t know what yet. The cursor on this one jumps all over the place - Apple charges $49 PER service call and doesn’t guarantee an answer. At least I know I’m helping pay for Steve Jobs multi-billion dollar empire eh?

I wouldn’t be so frustrated if it weren’t for the fact that Apple employees I know, who know me, tell me this is a lemon. Lesson learned? NEVER EVER buy ANY Apple product without buying the Apple Care Warranty.

Other lesson learned? Apple black balls you in their files. If you are the least bit frustrated, rude or don’t worship the brand - your name goes in their files and you don’t get the level of service other people do. FACT. It’s how Apple punishes those who don’t comply. Remind you of say….Hitler? So, suck up to get what you want. Next time I’ll register under a different name and practice sucking until I can draw bowling balls through a garden hose. Whatever it takes to make sure homeless kids get their book.

Anyway. I will deal with my Apple issues and continue to let people know how Apple will let them down…. at least until hell freezes over or they REPLACE my MacBook….whichever comes first (hell is in the lead.)

And I’m going to switch to a PC….and hopefully find something I love as much as Pages. Pages rules - but if the Mac crashes and the cursor jumps all over - who can use it?

Thanks for your letters of support and encouragement. But Apple isn’t going to do anything - as much as all my Apple owning buddies keep saying - it’s not happening guys. Sorry….So I need to change and quit focusing on it. Like I say, deal with the cards you’re dealt. That’s what I’m doing. Moving on!!
