Angry I just wanted to let everyone know that..

What AppleCare is like. AppleCare is a f*cking greedy organisation, and I hate them.

Ok, my dad bought a G4 a few months ago, and he got X with it. But he didn't want it, so I installed it on my iMac 2 weeks ago. The internet and classic hasn't been working, so we contacted AppleCare.

My dad spent 5 hours of his working time callling AppleCare to let them help us, we'be been getting help for almost 10 days now, and now the guy asked:
"Could you give me the serial number?" So my dad gave it, and he said, "Wait, that X is given to a G4 computer, not an iMac!" (It's the same X, it runs on both) So my dad sayd "So?".
And after 10 days of helping us, he said: "Sorry, it's not given to your iMac so we won't help you anymore unless you buy a totally new version of X."
My dad said it was redicoulous and the guy hung up.

I'm sorry for ranting but WTF!!!


Hell, I even registred on this site for NOTHING
Also, Ed Spruiell has helped me for NOTHING

Thanks.. well I use an application I have to open in order to get online, but that app can only be opened in 9.x, so I need to use Classic, but it doesn't work..

Carefully read the license agreement and make sure you did not violate the contract and the law. I'll bet that's the situation here. This might infact have nothing to do with AppleCare.

And if you didn't know already, you NEVER, EVER, purchase an extended warrenty with any product. It is a waste of money. Purchasing "help" for an Apple Computer goes along the lines of the oxymoron "Microsoft Works". You should never need help operating an Apple Computer; they're designed to be the easiest computers to use.

Dude, you're gonna need to give us more than that if you want some help. What's the name of the app? Who's your ISP? Is it dial-up, dsl or cable? Etc. etc.
