Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s
An anonymous reader writes "A class-action lawsuit was filed over Mac OS X not working correctly on some of the older G3's, and Apple has tentatively agreed to refund the purchase price of the OS ($129) to people who purchased it for use on those computers, and wish to return it." The agreement is not final. If you wish to continue using the OS on your computer, despite it not working fully, you can instead receive a $25 coupon. The deal will, apparently, apply to the iMacs through the fruit-colored models; the pre-chiclet iBooks; the PowerBook G3s; the first three Power Mac G3 models; and the all-in-one Power Mac G3.
...you mean the toilet-seat cover iBooks?
bananas like monkeys.
...all companies would stand behind their products. I know plenty of people who would like a refund for Windows Me *@&!#
Windows NT won't work on my PCjr. I'm going to sue.
....It just works!

I am still mad that OSX refuses to work on my Lisa, that is it, im suing!! Also Debian refuses to install on my Commodore 64, what gives??
I hate sigs.
And although it may seem excessive, I think a further comment on your comment about my comment about comments is necessary.
Surely there is no harm... :-)
I never expected my comment to be rated up so quickly tho. :-/
Helping with organizational effectiveness is our job.
I'll put the $125 from Apple towards the $700 SCO says I owe them!
Trolling is a art,
You mean Apple actually has to accept returns of it's product, when it doesn't work? Like, if there was a warranty or something? This is a sad and black day for the software industry, maybe one day we will even have to act responsively...
I applaud this insightful comment. This is the very reason that every news post needs to allow comments. If this had been locked, we would have never realized that it should be locked.
The irony in this is overwhelming...
I can tell you're not because you use words like "I'm pleased with my Mac," not "If you don't like macs you can burn in hell!" ;) For what it's worth, I really like Mac OSX a lot, and linux too - but I can do without the religion, know what I mean?
OTOH their main competitor's image (MS) is so bad, Apple still looks pretty good in comparison.
Even a skunk smells good in a sewer. ;)

"I like your plan though: Apple buys me a Dell to make up for their "near-decade of bullshit" and Microsoft can buy me a new car for the crap they've done. Maybe IBM can buy me a house, and HP > Compaq > DEC can buy me a yacht."
And maybe Slashdot will buy me a tropical island paradise in the Pacific.
