Apple’s initial response to waves of callers to its AppleCare tech support lines was unhelpful, according to leaked internal instructions posted on the tech news site ZDNet.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbeaulieu Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Are you sure that does not belong on the "Love Songs" thread?I would suggest that be the new song for Mac users (as part of a Trojan) to take over the "Rick Roll" song that we all occasionally get redirected to...

psychoanaleesis Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Well, just goes to show that you can't get too complacent that ol' Stevie will take care of everything. It's simply that no one took interest in Apple till now. That apple's been rotting and in it, worms. Edited May 27, 2011 by David Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backlighting Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Compared with the PC, Apple's virus threats are few and far between. And it is still superior to the PC in issues of speed, reliability & ease of use. I graduated to the IMAC 4 years ago. It's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbeaulieu Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 If I ever decide to buy an off-the-shelf computer, my next one will certainly be a Mac. But for building, I'm more familiar with PC components/architecture. ~ Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Engle Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I have both. I This is a lovely movie. You will see a few moments in there where very true things are said about the nature of many PC users. Welcome to the MacintoshAfter a long time, I finally got my hands on one to stick in the network; a lovely IMac. Old, but jacked up a bit. It is simply a better experience, period. r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
