The soon to be popular: What is that guy apologizing for?

Too bad this phrase became taboo before it could really take off. I had high hopes for it.

Is AppleCare worth it?

Do I have to buy AppleCare with the Mac, or can I buy it later?

I just threw my PowerBook out of the window of my apartment, and it landed on the roof of a moving car, which carried it to a railroad crossing, where it slid off and got run over by a freight train, after which I poured gasoline on it and lit it on fire. Then I spilled coffee on it. Now it won't boot up. Will AppleCare fix it?

You can be repped for being a positive influence on M-F, for making people smile and feel good about being here ... I place great importance on this personally.

So it's not all about just helping people ... I know very little about my iMac and what I do I've learnt it from M-F & Google. If anything having a determination to find an answer to a problem is what I have most of.

IMHO, you are a valued member here and we appreciate your input regardless of the forum section.
