Tech Support Fail ?:
Perhaps most disconcerting, however, is a message that MacFixIt reader, Tim Thomason, received from Psystar's support team, which reads:
"We absolutely do not support customers attempting to install the Leopard operating system on our Open Computer themselves. This is due to a difficult process that we go through to get Leopard to function on our computers. We encourage you to purchase an open computer, and select the option to have Leopard Pre-installed."
Of course, the reader asked what options were available in the event of a major system failure requiring Leopard reinstallation, to which Psystar suggested a return shipment to the company.
"Currently, (shipping the computer back to us) is the only option available. If the HDD dies, you can ship it to us for $50 plus shipping, so we can replace it for you."

That's not funny nor failing. No politics please... (or else post this in the politics section) This is a sensitive issue and should not be "discussed" in this thread and turn this into a never ending "debate". Thanks.

I don't think you got it. Nazi germany did host the olympics. That's why it's funny, because the person who wrote the sign failed to realize that fact. I don't think it was intended to be political.

When I first saw it, and even now, I thought its not funny - My instinct was that it was a protest recognising the '36 Games, saying that we don't want to reflect on this decision like we did on that one.

ah, I see what you mean. And I know the Olympics was hosted in Germany back when the regime existed. Thanks for clarifying the irony depicted in the photo.

Based on the phrasing, I don't think that was the meaning at all. But I also don't want to derail this thread.
