I dropped my wifes powerbook. The case was a little bent but everything was working fine at first - about 2 weeks later the screen stopped working. We took it the store and told them what happened - it's important to note at this point that I had not purchased the extended warranty - they said "go ahead and purchase the apple care plan ($100) and we'll fix it up and give you a loaner while we work on it.
I was stunned - I had been totally prepared to pay for the fix. It hadn't ever occurred to me that they would fix a dropped laptop or better yet allow me to buy the warranty post breakage. It was, to put it mildly, wicked excellent.
I have windows, linux and Mac computers at home and like all three - but this experience more than any has made me a fan of Apple the company as much as the products.
Let me get this straight - I go from a zone 5 to a zone 6, the whole world has crop problems - making food crops (an iowa specialty) more valuable. My property value skyrockets (as I won't be underwater anytime soon). I can visit the arctic sea without fear of getting eatan by a bear or tusked by a walrus . . . and all I have to worry about is changing the propane tanks on the mosquio killers so I don't get malaria?
GO GLOBAL WARMING!!!! YEAH!!!

Can it run Linux? Most of the cool google apps (picasa, google earth etc.) can't run on Linux yet. : (
does anyone know if there were any changes since the suse 10 OSS release that came with the open office release candidate?
