Pete Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hi, I am into photography and all done with apple products. Would anyone like to buy Aperture 2, Photo Shop elements 6, and I will include and a book on Aperture 2. Best offer gets them. I am going back to PC's, dumping the iphone for the Droid, and dumping ipod for zune or archos! Good riddance Apple. You lost a tech junkie client for life!

Pete Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I have had 4 Ipods, 6 Iphones(3 Apple made me pay full price over $500 each time), and a 27" Imac. My Imac needs a new logic board and power supply. I bought it in 2007. Apple logic boards are over $1000, and the power supplys have been a problem on G5s and cost $85. That is before labor. I called Apple and spoke with a senior manager, and asked if they could subsidize any costs. I explained my loyalty to apple, and that I am purchasing a new phone this next month. He said "I should of bought the extended warranty". This infuriated me and I stated that Apple should return the loyalty that I have given them. I added that Apple is a company that tries to portray itself as forward looking and green. And that Apple makes it cost prohibitive to make repairs to machines- they make it so it so that it forces you to buy a new Apple product. He said that was true to some degree and used a term something like "older machine obsolecence". I explained how much oil it takes to make a silicon chip and that is shameful if this machine just gets tossed. He said "well on the apple sight there is a part which shows where do drop off your older machines". "Older machines- this if from October 20007". Apple has gotten away from what made them great. !@#$ Apple. I am buying the new Thunderbolt phone next month! It feels good to ween myself off Apple Oh yeah, anyone want to buy a 27" G5 Imac? I upgraded memory and dropped a 2TB harddrive in it. It needs a power supply and logic board Edited January 25, 2011 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I don't know if the Droid is the way to go. I have had problems with mine and finally, after it became possessed, I couldn't function with it, thus rendering it unusable. I just received my replacement after reporting my other one stolen, and I just made a phone call. When it ended, the screen went black and I couldn't get to the main screen. It stayed like this until I pulled the battery. Be careful what you ask for. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have a few friends who use them. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Droid user I know--even the ones who love it--admit to frequently needing to remove the battery to reboot, freezes, etc. Edited January 26, 2011 by Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hahahahahaha. Come on man.

I have zero problems with my Galaxy S, besides being slightly disappointed in battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had always planned on getting the iphone on verizon but I'm definitely a droid user now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
