[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1644187, member: 56379"] Sorry to hear about things not turning out so well.:( As far as not feeling good about Mac's/Apple. This is a 2010 MacBook Pro we are talking about…so almost 5 years old. We (Mac-Forums members) have no idea what this specific MacBook Pro has been thru over the past 5 years. But as a very portable computer (laptop)…it could have been exposed to all sorts of things over 5 years…that may not be good for a computer. I'm betting over the past 5 years you weren't feeling this way about Mac's/Apple. Now that there's a problem…all of a sudden Apple is no good. I'm not sure this is a fair assessment. I'm not saying this sort of thing "should happen" at 5 years. But stuff does happen. Maybe something Apple related…and maybe something user related. Another way of looking at things. This computer is 5 years old. It's worth about $350-$400 bucks…so it's not exactly a "gold mine" at current used computer prices (my wife has & uses the exact same computer). If you're not very happy with Apple…try switching to a Windows computer…and see how happy you will be. Everything is relative (which can sometimes be forgotten). Again…sorry to hear that the Apple visit & trip back home didn't go so well. Stuff does happen unfortunately. - Nick [/QUOTE]
