When I first heard rumours, sometime last fall, that Apple was going to extend their warranty from a meager 90-days, to a more appropriate 12 months, I happily filed the thought away. On March 8th, I wasn't so happy. In fact, I'm quite livid about Apple letting me fall through the cracks. On March 8th (!?! Planned obsolescence???), my SE/030 hung up and died. I bought it last year on April 28th, so the machine was only 10 months- old. Of course, Apple didn't make the new warranty retroactive to cover all those folks whose machines would still be under a 12 month warranty. And their "generous" offer of 12 months AppleCare for the price of 6 doesn't do me a damn bit of good, as no dealer worth his salt will sign you up for AppleCare for a machine that isn't working. So meanwhile, it looks like I get to eat the costs of a new motherboard. This whole thing really irks me, because I have been pushing quite hard as the new MIS manager to get our company president to take a look at the Mac. A typical situation of loving the machine, but hating the $^%&*@$ company. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Sonntag, MSPH International EnviroSearch CompuServe: 71341,1757 (801) 466-1035 Internet: DSONNTAG@CC.UTAH.EDU --------------------------------------------------------------------
