[QUOTE="alexknibb, post: 708918, member: 50738"] Keystone - I have to say I understand your point. If I bought a product from a store, and it broke (in whatever way) after 3 hours, I'd certainly be in the mood to go back and get it fixed/exchanged at the store. If I'd had it even a week or more, I might feel differently, but I can wholeheartedly understand your frustration after such a short period of time. Plus, if it'll take you 2 hours or more to reinstall the OS and download all the updates again, it's a better use of your time to take it back and get a swapsie. Computers may well be complicated pieces of equipment, but they should still be consumer products, it's just that so many people have gotten used to Windows and its flakiness that they think computers SHOULD be that way, and that they always will be. If you buy an Apple computer, and only use Apple products, updates and programs with it for three hours before it breaks, I'd say by all means take it back and get Apple to sort the problem. The more that happens, the more companies will spend time everything 'just works', regardless of the manufacturer. But most of all, what I'm saying is that I can understand the heartbreak and frustration of researching something for ages, getting excited about it and dropping serious cash on finally buying it only to find it stops working so quickly. I've had it happen to me, and, to quote Bart Simpson, it both sucks AND blows. :) [/QUOTE]
