iBook Refund On Its Way

Posted by pudge on from the release-the-hounds dept.

bennomatic writes "Apple is finally making good on those iBook repairs we've heard so much about over the past several months. I just got my letter in the mail the other day which I had to sign and swear that I had indeed paid for the logic board repair in question. The letter stated that the refund would be made within 4-6 weeks following their receipt of my letter. It's funny that, with all of the fuss over the fact that they were not fixing the problem, there's been barely a whisper on the Mac web about the fact that it's all being taken care of."

  1. What about the MacOS Refund by Endive4Ever · · Score: 3, Funny

    What about a refund on the 'mandatory' purchase of MacOS X on my G4? I prefer plain Darwin, since it's just used as a server, and Darwin I can download for free? So where's my refund on the copy of MacOS I was forced to purchase with my G4?

    (is Raymond gonna appear at the demo dressed as R2D2 this time?)

      OS X was included as a promotional gift with the G4 at no additional cost. Your refund for $0.00 will automatically be transferred to your bank account. They don't even need your bank or routing number. Enjoy!

      Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

    "I'm in Japan, so I just took my 14" .... it was, well, fucked"

    This sort of goes against Oriental genitalia stereotypes. Are you trascribing Hentai or something?

    Though i don't use the machine often, when I need it, I need it to work. It's sad I have to consider buying a more expensive model even though I don't need/want its features, but am afraid of the one I already own failing.

    I would be willing to trade my Dell Inspiron 4000 PIII-600 laptop for your iBook if you'd like. It is a very robust and stable machine and I just got a brand new battery for it. Just don't tell my wife I'm trading in her laptop.

  4. Woe is Leo Laporte by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sorry, Leo, another disappointment.

    To those who don't know, Leo Laporte, co-host of The Screen Savers on TechTV, got fed up with his iBook's problems and, rather than sending it in to Apple to be fixed, threw his away. Within a week before Apple acknowledged the problem and said they'd do free repairs. Or so it was disclosed on the show.

    It is also said that one should not purchase a product from Apple until Leo does because it always drops in price shortly afterward.

    Say Leo, did you see that X-Files/Verizon ad parody I uploaded, signed I.R. Scratcher? Feel free to share it.
