# Threadwaste, I know I know, but...
I HAVE to tell you guys about this.
I buy a new 12' powerbook for 3000 Euro. a week later the superdrive is broken. I send it in to get fixed. they just called and told me there were two CDs in it, so it's my fault, so could I please now pay 734 Euros to get it repaired, or if I'd like to just have it back, 200 Euros for having it looked at.
are the trying to fucking JACK ME OFF all the way from FUCKING HOLLAND?!?
gee, great new powerbook! every time you forget there was a CD in the drive you can send it in and pay 734 Euros!
fuck me!!
FUCK ME!!!!
so now I can go to London OR get my laptop back. tough fucking call!
what a bunch of FUCKERS! aaargh!!!

# Not as silly as it sounds.
I've had the disc come off the spindle on my notebook before now (must have taken a bit of a knock while carrying it.) When I opened the drive, it looked empty because the disc stayed inside. I very nearly put a second disc in there and shut the drive, but I noticed the edge of the first disc sticking out very slightly.

# I almost put two
floppy disks into my old 512k's drive once, but the mechanism stopped it. You'd think something newer and faster and better would have that little safety thing.

# I once
put 2 CD's in my CD player and listened to the bottom one, thinking it was the top one and ranted and raved about how well I knew their music etc thus showing what a lying, bollox-talking fool I am.

# Apple are cunts when things go wrong
My ex-boss' Powerbook died within a week of him getting it, but while he was in the States.
Even though he took it to a proper Apple shop over there, Apple UK refused to deal with it as a DOA when he got back and returned the computer cos it was past 14 days.

# Did they tell you there'd be a charge for having it looked at?
I think they can't charge you for doing work under EU law, without informing you first (though they can charge for carriage).

Are you in the UK? If so have a word with the citizen's advice...
