Black was an extra $500 so she settled for extra RAM instead and she had grand plans for the Intel processor. She was going to install both the Windows and the Mac version of our interactive whiteboard software on both operating systems and critically compare the two…. oh, the grand plans she had. I saw her today at lunch and asked how her Mac was going. “Oh,” she said.”I don’t have it anymore. It had a problem, actually several problems so I took it back. They asked if I wanted it repaire but I got a refund and went a bought a new HP Ipaq instead.”
I told how I’d been reading about your woes and she just shook her head slowly with a wry grin…… You are not alone. Maybe they should have issued this model in a bright yellow.

It wasn’t ranting in store that did it, it was ranting to the New Zealand distributor, who ranted to Apple Australia.

Ranting works.
