badstar-Stoopid people should not be allowed to own computers.
-Stoopid people should REALLY not be allowed to own computers with any kind of wireless anythign in place
-If I tell you to update your software if's not because I enjoy saying "I want you to update your software" I don't care if it worked 5 minutes before you called, do you want my help or not?
-Unless the email account in question is a .Mac email account, I CANNOT tell you what your email settings are supposed to be. I don't know. I don't work for your ISP. I don't know who your ISP is either unless you tell me.
-While we're at it....Mac is NOT an ISP, it is a bunch of internet-related services and software.
-Yes you have to have some kinda of service at your disposal to connect to the internet. Buying an iBook and an AirPort isn't gonna magically pull the internet outta the Aether.
-I really don't know exactly what firware is or what it does, I just know that resetting it magically fixes a lot of problems. So shut up and type.
-"Reboot" is the same as "restart" No, I do not want you to put your computer to sleep. If I say "shut down, I do not mean "restart"
-If you spend $500 on the iTunes music store and don't back it up, you deserve to lose it all if your computer crashes.
Oh yeah....and I am NOT A SALESPERSON OR GATEKEEPER. I AM A TECH. DO NOT PATRONIZE ME OR ASSUME THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT JUST BECAUSE I'M A CHICK. Got that dude? Boobs do not hinder my technical knowledge.
