Apple Recall

Attention Apple Owners
''Rodger, sorry that I haven't been around for a bit, my hard drive crashed.  After taking it in, I found out that Apple has a problem with some of the mother boards chips/diodes/capacitors (something) that is faulty & might explode.

''I was told that there is a recall & Apple covered all my repairs,but I thought that you should know.  I remember earlier, you showing a new G5 for one of your kids. If it's one of the earlier machines it'd be cheaper (and less dramatic) to check it now before it blows up.

''Fan surging, turns on by itself, later - trouble booting up

''hope this helps, Iteki''

It gave me much pleasure to post this.  Bwahaaaa!  By the way, my daughter too has an Apple portable, and she spent hours preparing a video to give us for Christmas.  When she went to burn it, Apple deleted the who deal.  Bwahaaaaa!  Thanks PD, but Greeper sold his G5.

I have known a couple people that were not thrilled by there Apple computers. I do know there are more stuff available for PC's than Apples.

I write this from the keyboard of a Macintosh computer, running OS 10.4.8. I have been working on MACs since 1989. I guess my luck is better than some others.

I would rather eat a meal with Jean Francios Querry than put a dime in Bill Gates pocket.

Actually... There were a whole series of systems from many many major manufacturers that had failed capacitors. Apple is doing the same as Dell, hP and IBM in replacing motherboards as quickly as possible in this instance. I've personally replaced 35 Apple Motherboards and 75 Dell Motherboards.

I work on Apples or Dells pretty interchangeably. Hate to see flame wars start over a partial truth.

Magy,
Isn't it funny to see how strongly people feel about which platform to use?
It's almost like politics!

You never hear people arguing over Black & Decker vs. Craftsman-- so why this tool?

I also use both and don't really have a preference- they each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Beg to differ. I have also heard this argument over tools. As long as people live, people will differ on preferences, even dish washing liquid!!

Juice,
maybe I should rephrase that-- I never hear people arguing over Black & Decker vs. Craftsman, but you're right - just because I don't hear it, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

BTW, Dawn dish detergent is the best!!!! Haha! :)

Download from where? I followed the link and got:

Download emailSTRIPPER

emailStripper is a free program for cleaning the ">" and other formatting characters out of your emails. It will restore "forwarded" or "replied" emails back to their original state so they're easier to read.

It's simple to use, and best of all it's FREE!

Download The Installer (the "normal" download)

Download the Zipped Installer (for people with WinZip)

Download the Executable Only (advanced)

Do you have a homepage? Please link to this page so your friends can download emailSTRIPPER too.


Is that some kind of guerilla spam? You can do better than that, Rodger.

p.s. Quit Mac-bashing-- at least until you really have something worth bashing about.

WTF? I use emailStripper to get rid of all the >>> garbage that most forwarded e-mail text contains. It's free. It works. It's fast. It leaves that message that I usually deleted, but didn't. What's the complaint?
