Hoho, I knew that comment where bound to come up but then let me put it this way;
If macs were so great, why did my mac crash and noone could fix it! and the computertechs that were qualified to work with mac they made me an offer to fix it for "only" ?600 (Which is roughly; $1064 AUD!)
My brother's macintosh crashed aswell and it cost his insurancecompany almost ?1600 to fix it (This was around -9
!!
My computer crashed last week (my harddrive died and that happens to macintosh aswell) however I didn't know that it was the HD that died and if it was an macintosh I had to go to a "qualified macintosh repair tech super evil person" to get it fixed. I just called my brother and he came by and tested every bit and piece in my computer just to be safe to see that nothing else has gone mental in my computer.
Cost; None! Zip! Zero! Nada! (Monstergarage someone?) I even got my old HD working and an oldschool 20 gig drive from another servercomputer.
