..I do luuuuv my ibook. I've had a few problems here and there but Applecare has almost always been good whenever I've called with a problem.
The only time they were sorta dicks was when I realized that my recently replaced combo drive could no longer read or acknowledge SACD or hybrid format cds. The tech guy I spoke with told me, in the nicest way possible, that I was SOL. Apparently Apple drives aren't supposed to accept that format and when my ORIGINAL drive did, I was just lucky.
I later found out that this was not wholly true. After doing a bit of snooping on their discussions board (a very good place to find an answer to a problem, I've found), apparently the "tower" drives are able to read them and laptops, not so much.....
They still rock...specially when those virus bugaboos start plaguing the net....
