Yeah, you might have those problems, but believe it or not, Apple's quality control has actually gone up. I had a 400MHz Titanium Powerbook back in 2001, and by 2003 it was a 1Ghz PowerBook G4 due to the seventeen times I had to send in various computers that were replaced. One of them even melted (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/another-melted-g4-mac-laptop-231620.php http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/another-melted-g4-mac-lap...). So with my MacBook Pro having only a few minor problems (the power button has fallen inside the case, and the isight randomly stops working), I'd say the quality has improved significantly. The networking systems in the Finder are so bad that when I use Vista, I actually breathe a sigh of relief that I can "map" network drives and have automatic discovery. Leopard somewhat fixes this, though. As far as the iPhone debacle, I'm really amazed at how poorly Apple is handling the situation. Maliciously destroying their products and punishing their most geeky customers is retarded. Those geeky customers are the ones the non-geeky potential customers go to for advice. Hasn't Steve Jobs read The Tipping Point? When you've pissed off Brian Lam, you're really in trouble.
