Thank you. Prediction #2: check.
Seriously - the "never the same price" bit didn't tip you off?
Think about what you just said...I'll give you a second

Ok, you said that your friend's friend had an experience and the next word is reliability. Don't rant about reliability when your sources are what your friend's cousin read while he was bored one day at work and decided to look at mac rumor sites. If you were to look at all the members of this site, I doubt there are a majority of people with hardware issues. It's actually very small. It's the fact that you sign on everyday to macrumors and see the same post from yesterday because someone can't use the forums so you think "oh here we go again..." Your thread makes no sense. We are here to answer questions. If you want to wine like a baby then go to the mac store. You said it yourself, you've worked with them for years. If you don't like them then get a stinkin pc!
Just my 2 cents
I think YOU need to think about what he said. Especially these bits:
Seeing a pattern?

Uh huh. Whatever helps you sleep at night
Nice bit of humor, I'd have to say. Although it's even better that so many people are either arguing or agreeing with the OP.

sorry, my english isn't top of the range. Sometimes things I mean get picked up the wrong way... That's what 15 years Germany made out of me as a british...
Yes....*you* added disclaimers but what value are they? Until such time as the *OP* makes his intentions clear, it remains up for debate. So how about it, Pete.....'wanna come back and visit us?
Hi All,
Thankyou for all your feedback! It was definitely a joke!!!
It was kind of a reflection of some of the postings I have read recently where the poster claims absolute truths about problems, apple marketing, etc.
I thought the following statements were dead giveaways ...
(1) portablity BUT with workstation power
(2) ... very knowledgable in the my specific needs ... unwavering opinion on everyone's else needs
(3) some more expensive, some less, but never the same price
But if you missed those I thought that ending with this one would clear any doubt ...
(5) returned 10 XSERVES because they are so f***ing NOISY
If anyone has configured a rack server, the fans in them sometimes sound like a plane taking off!
That has brightened my late night forum browsing. Thanks for that wonderful piece of humor. And by the way do you know anything about PC hardware prices? Have you compared the mac pro with the dells?
Just to throw my opinion in on the Hardware complaints by forum posters of various sites.
One of the biggest reasons people seek online Mac forums is to complain. This is based on my near 2 years on MR and seeing how many times the same crap comes up whether it is a warranted complaint or someone complaining that there iBook appears warped when closed
People come online to complain, it is what they do. Those with perfect Macs and no complaints are never heard of and there are Many Many more of those people out there than the complainers (like the OP!).

But seriously folks...
Try spending 2 hours on the phone with Dell's tech support in India, trying to get a $15 part for your wife's PC laptop, being bounced between three or four people who end up overcharging you because of thier back-ass-wards internal communications....
I'll pay anything for a Mac and the Apple Care plan...
HA your not the only one....
humor, what humor?
Perhaps I am missing the point here, but I didn't think it was funny, I didn't think anything of it at all, I don't know why it was posted, or what purpose it had therefore.
you'll never be a comedian I'm afraid....
why has humor gone downhill, would have been a better title for this thread.
