Ok so let’s just say it’s a bad product then, fine with me as I have no intentions of buying a new machine within the next couple of years anyway and by then they’ll either have fixed the problem or become even bigger bastards! Creative we will be, fear not, I’ll holla at ya when da beertummy screams for some yummy yummy, it won’t be long!:D

Well, 7.5-12.5% of all MacBooks have, according to the biggest (and only, as far as I know) study ever made on problems that have hit the entire MacBook-line, courtesy of Macintouch.com, been hit by this problem. Peter, a mate, has also been hit with this problem and has written about it in Swedish here.

Also, do note that a forum thread at Apple’s support site went on for over 800 posts – until Apple closed the thread, i.e. made further commenting impossible. And they won’t say anything about it.

I was just phoned by a person at The Swedish Consumer Agency, who told me I had enough reasons for inLife to annul my purchase. I’m still waiting for their call.

Do yer creativism more! I wanna hear the tracks, so go get more productive and I’ll catch you on the flipside!

Ouch, sounds like you’ll be sticking to your old beloved machine in the future then and it feels like I’ll be sticking with my Powerbook G4 for as long as it lasts me, I have no desire to be making the kind of calls you’ve been making or go through that kind of crap! Then again as far as I know Henkas machine works just fine, maybe you got your hands on a “måndags exemplar” as we say in Swedish! Anyway the arrogance and silence from the bastards responsable is unforgivable! Later Niklas, I know we have to get those beers in soon but right now we’re in “creative mode” so it’ll have to wait yet a while longer! Wörd/Zak
