Take your generic hardware rants to a different forum, please.

2 Things you can do. (yes I'm a PC tech IRL)

You can dump the crappy mac and get a PC

Or run boot camp (built in to leopard), partition off a 20g spot on your hd, install windows xp pro and run it on there.

Sorry bout dumping on macs, but as a PC tech I see the truth of those thigns every day >.<

1 in 10 Hardware failure rates, no recalls (bad PR), probably the most pita machines ever made to work on and twice as expensive (or more) for their parts as a PC is.

for example - DVD/CD burner replacement on a mac desktop - $200 - Laptop $250+

PC Desktop - $50 - Laptop - $100ish if not cheaper.

I go off on macs cause at my repair shop I work on them all the frigging time, and its just horrible how much is going wrong with them and apple does nothing about it, the new IMacs literally have a 1/10 hardware failure rate (90% of the time its the logic board) but apple would rather pay me to fix it than recall them because its bad PR.
