i've had it. my
ibook
is the shittiest piece of god forsaken hardware i've ever owned. it's dead,
once again
and it looks to be the oh-so-familiar hosed logic board. so what does
apple
do when a customer calls and says they've lost their patience and that maybe, just maybe, sending a box in 4 times in as many months is a bit much to ask any consumer to bear?
do they happily offer to give me a new computer?
do they do anything?
nope. the technician just tells me that i don't actually have a lemon by their standards. and as if to tantalize me, he says, "you're close."
i don't find this amusing. what the hell happened to customer service? what the hell happened to quality? [ insert ocean of curses here ]
so i'm back full-time to the trusty linux tower and dell laptop, which between them have nearly a decade of unfailing service. good, trusty steeds they are.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
