New iBook

[Amnesia]

yep, new iBook.

Called Apple, asked for Tiger since I bought my laptop on the 4th. They said I had to go all the way to London AND bring my laptop too just for a receipt. So I said, ok, since I'm going all the way there with the laptop what is this going to acheive?

They said, we take the laptop back and sell it back to you.

So I said, so I'm buying a second hand laptop for full price?

They said well... yes.

I said, well I want a new one.

Long story short.

They said fine. New iBook, and I'm able to get Tiger. WOOHOO!

lol, what a stupid way on doing business on apples behalf. i enquired about this same situation with micro anvika (uk comp store) and they said i'd just have to fill in a form on apples website and they'd send tiger free of charge, im holding out for tiger though, no point buying it just yet... they might update the pb range yet...i hope :unsure:

well if they do update it soon you can always refund the machine within 2 weeks as long as it's in mint condition.

as for the way Apple handled it, yep it's a stupid method business wise but a great method customer wise :D

didnt want to make a new topic.

seems that the f12 key (or fn+f12) doesn't eject thecd. I have to drag it to the trash.

Anyone have a solution to this?

I called them for an iBook bought at the start of April and they agreed to just send out a copy of Tiger...

[Amnesia]

:s! well to be honest `i would have just wanted that. Instead of wasting money on a trip.

(side note: f12 works now`)
