I'm a recent switcher to Mac, an extremely satisfied customer after having used PowerBook for about 7 months. When the new Intel iMacs got released, I couldn't help but to buy the new machine that was supposed to be so much faster,,, plus, I always wanted a desktop mac ever since I experienced the awesomeness of a mac.
The new machine worked great, except for occasional keyboard freezes that could only be solved by unplugging and plugging it back in, and some wake up problem from sleep. But other than that, i had so much fun on the 20" screen and I also got some work done on it too.
This morning, I woke my iMac up and started playing music on iTunes so I can listen to it while I get ready for the day, something I do regularly. But after coming back from my kitchen, I noticed that it was taking way too long for the next song to start, and I look at my monitor,,, and it was black. I come near the system and it's making that noise I always hear when I wake macs up, but this time, it kept on doing that. I thought, "OK, so even macs do crash THIS randomly... well, restart it and it's fine" (very ironic, because apple website just recently posted their advertisement video, making fun of windows freezing up and having to restart). I restarted, but,,, nothing. Screen won't turn on, the system tries to boot but it just pathetically make noise,, I tried everything, from unplugging mouse, keyboard, adaptor, waiting for about a minute or two and retried,,, but nothing.
This is the sort of thing I hated about the PC, and that's why I decided to switch to a Mac. I don't know if I should tell myself that, it's because they just made a transition to Intel,,, it's because my machine is Rev A, it's because it's because.... but either way, a Mac machine that I spent my hard earned money on, with 120% confidence that macs won't let me down... and just two months after the purchase, it gives me a headache of having to carry it all the way to my local apple store for a repair.
