ah, but that is only official policy, if you go into an apple store and
ask them nicely, and Jerry actually has a stuck "on" pixel, they will
replace it every time.

i wasn't speaking to manufacturing defects, just engineering / design.

but again, if jerry wants it fixed, all he has to do is ask.

Microsoft probably gets 2-3x te revenue off the sale of Windows to a
Mac user than to an OEM. So this is bad for Microsoft how?

 

[Kurt Herman]

Really! I have quite a few friends who are Mac heads, and I get along fine
with them even though I'm a "softie".

The funny thing is a few of those Mac heads are quite happy with Vista
running on there machines. (Boot Camp) ect...

They, of course wouldn't touch XP, but they like Vista. (And they come to me
for advice on how to run it.)

So if MS can get a good chunk of Mac users to buy Vista as their 2nd, Win
compatible OS, they are making out like bandits.

If it's any consolation "chrisv" is ignored in COLA too. And that's
pretty much "special". In the "retarded" sense. Ask Pete. He will tell
you.

This is so lovely. A note to the saner people out there - the dickhead
known as "Ben" is a well known nym shifter. Paranoia *is* a prerequisite
for joining COLA. Jump in. It's a super role playing game. The main
issue is people like "Ben" getting their grammar mixed up and giving
themselves away. Ask Rafael all about it. Note : better to keep one
Avatar running. Then you get bonus points when you are told you really
are "spike1" or "Mark Kent". Then you really know that you have hit the
jackpot. It's like winning money for impersonating the village idiot.

They told me it had to have 8 bad pixels. This was at the Genius bar
in the Florida Mall in Orlando FL.

You admit to trolling and nymshifting every now and then (remember when
you bragged about your trolling skill and linked to that Vermont Stump
Product asshatery?). There is rarely proof, but often very strong evidence.

Look, some of the advocates here use unpleasant, occasionally even
troll-like tactics at times (mostly in response to troll stupidity). I
don't respect that very much. However, almost everything you post is
worthless troll crap, racist, homophobic, untrue, or some combination of
the above. I don't respect that at all. That is the cause of the double
standard.

I do not know specifically with the pixel question, but I do know that Apple
went above and beyond their written policies for me with my new iMac. In
regards to an issue I was having I called one day past the day they say you
should to have it be deemed DOA and yet they deemed it as that anyway... and
then expedited shipping, refunded $100, and gave me the up-to-date pricing
on Leopard (an additional savings of about $100). I also forgot to send
them back my modem, cloth, and a cable and offered to ship those back to
them at my expense (it was my mistake)... they told me not to worry about it
and just to keep them.

Not hard to believe that if you have a screen with a flaw that clearly
effects usability that Apple would work with you and go above their written
policy.

Actually, Hadron is ignored. People pay attention to the genuine chrisv,
but a troll known as clogwog likes to forge him.

In all honesty, I am not someone's nym. check my IP. Check the times I
post. Check the style I post in. Check the opinions I state. I am no
one's nym, and I have noticed that who trolls like you accuse me of
being is either unstated or inconsistent. My best guess is you *know*
that no new advocate would show up on COLA, but can't figure out who you
think I am, so you just hurl accusations.
