My point was that I assume if those events did occur you might say "Wow I can't believe they couldn't do anything" rather than "Tough luck. Deal with it."

I doubt anyone at Apple would use those exact words ... unless, of course, Gus became very annoying and obnoxious.


I said you not Apple. I'll try to use clearer pronouns in the future.

Mike56321 said I offer that at the $300 price point it is not unreasonable for Gus to be dissatisfied.

Hologram said

Nobody is arguing Gus's right to be dissatisfied...

Stuff happens. Shall we trade stories about power supplies that fail on two year old builds, taking the motherboard with it, rendering my two year old high end CPU and RAM useless because replacement motherboards with that particular socket design were no longer available? Do you think I received any apologies from Antec, Asus or Intel? Do you think I expected any? How about the time I got a flat or the fuel pump failed on my "shortly after warranty expiration" car? Did I expect BMW to send a rescue team to fix "their" problem? No.

Other than trying to prove me wrong, what have you contributed?


Pointing out when people make contradictory arguments and uses information out of contexts serves to improve the quality of dialogue.

Well in that case, if Gus is as annoying as you make him out to be, I wouldn't hesitate to send him packing in a heartbeat.

Could be that's why Apple told him to take a hike too, come to think of it.

Happy New Year.
