For the first time, I'm pissed at Apple....always have been using their computers and probably always will but they are pissing me off.
I bought a new intel iMac a week before school started, and when I used it it was the best computer I've ever used, loved it...until the logic (mother) board failed....I unplugged the computer and simply plugged it back in cause I had to move it, and it all of a sudden wouldn't turn on, it completely died.
Now its sitting in a certified repair shop and has been for weeks, waiting for a new logic board from Apple, they are taking forever to ship the part. Apparently there are several other iMacs in their shop with the same problems waiting for the same part....its probably a widespread problem, they just won't come out and say it (a la the iBook logic board failures). It happened to my brothers iBook recently, the rest of the computer is fine (even fired right up after sitting in a puddle of water over night when his dorm burned down).
Cliff notes: Apple logic boards = suck
