The New And Not Improved Intel Imac, iMac a piece of junk? Options

[drewott]

Recently (february), I purchased a new intel iMac w/ 2 gigs of ram. Exciting right? ... well not exactly. After three days of flawless processing the iMac started acting up. I will not go into details (space is limited), but lets just say when I tried to return it apple allowed me to do so and apologized for any inconvenience.

The reason I feel this is post-worthy is I spoke to a friend who is now a part a class action law suit against mac for the first gen. G-4's which were riddled with problems.

Does apple have a reputation for rushing things to market? Is this just another example of that?

Has anybody else experienced intel iMac problems?

I am certainly willing to give apple the benefit of the doubt, but after spending 2G's on a computer that was clearly a piece of $#!t, I can't help but feel slighted.

AppleCare is great... But, onlt if you can use something until your machine is returned. Perhaps, I have a unique relationship with my Retailer, in Germany... They trust me! I'm a Black Dude from New York... Just not used to such good treatment... In Zoo York I was followed around! I used to steal shit just for the hell of it... Only joking... Not about black about stealing Mac. Apple Care, if they will provide a loaner! You must keep working... They could have your Machine for 2 weeks! Imagine! Horror! What would any of us do? I know I could resort to my 17", but, that did and does crash with the amount of Audio I used... But, that was several years ago... Time flies... I'm becoming an old black dude... But, my music is 'Timeless'... Sigh... Senile...
