[QUOTE="MaDDoG, post: 429022, member: 24625"] Hi Tjw1904, I sympathise. My Mac Book Pro lasted just long enough for me to have spent 6 hours setting it up. Then in the middle of a firmware update it just died. Rang the store and tried everything I could think of. I was shattered as it was Friday night when it happened. Saturdays phone call didn't help so I had to get through Sunday witha dead Mac, take it back Monday and then wait three days for it to get replaced. Thankfully no problems this time round. But when I think of Windows I think at least I know how to fix things too. But then I stop and think. Why should I have to fix things in the first place. Surely after spending the money it should just work. I then I remember how many times I have been at wits end trying to fix yet another Windows error....hours and hours of frustrations over the years. I can't offer you an explanaition as to what has happened but maybe you got two from a bad batch - it happens. Or maybe you have made the same error when setting things up. I thought for a while that I had been impatient during the firmware update after checking the forums (on a PC) and hearing that sometimes they can be a bit slow to load and reboot. Get someone at the store or someone such as your friend to go through the process, after all they do do things differently to what PC users are used to having happen. I love my Mac now that I am getting used to the differences....once you've had Mac you'll never go back. LOLOL [/QUOTE]
