iGary's Fracking Trouble With Apple Part 1,252™

[iGary]

It should be a spectacular show.

It should be a spectacular show.

Or in Apple's case, you mean, spectacular SLOW...

 

[kretzy]

I think it's time to threaten a law suit.

 

[iGary]

I'm thinking of not taking my medication until AFTER I talk to them.

Be sure to take it with alcohol.

 

[Chundles]

Can we move the timeline up a little bit Gary?

It's very late (1:20am) and I want to go to sleep.

 

[iGary]

Live coverage will begin in five minutes.

 

[Mord]

10 mins latter....

/me wanders if igary has exploded in agony.

 

[iGary]

Dialing my "special rep."

Ooooh...voicemail - surprise...

Calling Applecare's main line....

 

[yoda13]

I hope you are not taking any more crapola from these folks. They owe you a resolution ASAP...

Its time to go off if you haven't...(hopefully that is what you are doing now)

Good luck!!!

 

[iGary]

On hold for AppleCare "PowerMac G5" specialist.

 

[Chundles]

This is more fun than an Apple Special Event.

I reckon macrumorslive should be up and running from iGary's place.

We could just build an extra tab in across the top... pointing to igary.macrumors.com

Good luck man... we're all watching

 

[iGary]

On the phone with "Fred." (No that is not his real name.)

 

[iGary]

"Fred" went "Woah" when I gave him my case number...maybe because it is five miles long...He's being kind enough to get me to a product specialist (on hold while those two try and figure out the cluster-eff that is my case).

 

[Mord]

hows about we set up a igary live IRC channel, i can make one on krono.net #igary

 

[iGary]

Holding....

 

[iTwitch]

So here we are ladies and germs - five days later and no answer from my "buddy" at Apple.

Time till launch: 3:00:00.

I'm in Baltimore, wonder if I'll be able to see or hear this.

Good Luck

Look toward the southern horizon.

I'm now 11 minutes into this call and so far I have gotten this far: "uh huh."

 

[AlBDamned]

LOL at your current "location".

This reminds me of that special event where we got text messages updating on announcements...

I'm now 11 minutes into this call and so far I have gotten this far: "uh huh."

That's because he's still reading the case file.

 

[iGary]

14 minutes on hold....this should be good...he was "surpirsed" when I told him I have been waiting for my "special rep" to call me back for 5 days now...

 

[eva01]

you have the best luck ever gary

so now who is taking bets for how long he is on hold?

i say 20 minutes

 

[eVolcre]

This is nuts man. I would even try emailing the STEVE@mac.com address AGAIN. It got you some action last week, maybe by bitching to it directly you can have someone ping your 'specialist'.


Your patience is incredible. I would have gone ballistic a LONG time ago ..

It's so cheeky that they expect you to pay for all this, i always think...

 

[CanadaRAM]

Can I recommend opening another window on the Mac and playing a nice, soothing game of solitaire? Should be able to get several hands in between Uh Huh's
