First off let me stress that I'm no longer paranoid. I know my last few topics probably made you think I was a nutcase or at least a moron. But thanks to everyone who has helped me I discarded that paranoia today. Thank you all for putting up with me and an extra special thanks to the moderators for not banning me
Let me also stress that I don't think I have any problems, I'm just asking for curiosity's sake and because I want to learn.
With the serial number for my Macbook, other then making my Macbook identifiable from everyone else's Macbook, what use does it have? I know that you give it to Apple support, but would it be used for anything else? Could my serial number be used to access my Macbook from another location? Let me especially stress with that question that I'm not asking it out of paranoia or because I have a problem, just curious.
I called Apple support today because I still have a little time left on the free Apple service and because I wanted to know from the horse's mouth itself what they recommend cleaning my Macbook with. When I called they said they didn't have a file for me even though I've called before and they were able to find my name when I gave them my phone number. The second time I called I forget what the automated/computer message was but it said something like bad batch and then disconnected me. I'm guessing that maybe they're having an issue with their phone/computer system, so I was wondering if there's a better time in your opinion to call them back? Maybe they had a high volume of calls?
I use Firefox because I like the addons. However, as I mentioned in one of my previous topics I was experiencing a "issue" with my cursor sometimes which I think may be more of an annoyance than a problem. In your opinion should I just stick with Firefox since I like the addons or get rid of it and use Safari? Are there addons or anything for Safari, and do you find Safari to be better than Firefox or not?
