| - I do indeed love Apple products. I bought my first Apple computer -- a little iBook -- in 2002 when I began grad school. I bought a 2nd generation iPod, too (it was as heavy as a brick). I'm not going to lie, this commercial sold me on giving Apple a try:

Still, that doesn't change the fact that the computer successfully carried me through my master's degree. I'd have to check, but I think my diploma was made out to "iBook" rather than "Chad."
This particular Apple store is great; not only does it sell amazing products, but I've never had a problem getting a faulty device replaced. I once had an iPhone die on me and they simply handed me a new one. Also, I brought a 3-year-old laptop in hoping for a free fan repair; they couldn't waive that cost, but they did go the extra mile and look into my battery while they were at it, then replace it. Yes, it sounds like I've had a lot of faulty Apple products, but when I think about how many purchases I've made here, I think it's par for the course (especially when I think about my disastrous experiences with Dell and HP).
I'm bringing my Macbook Pro into the Apple Store today in the hopes they'll be able to take care of a stuck pixel or two; it's annoying to try to watch a movie with a stationary white spot on the screen, especially when the cost of this computer is the reason I still have no dishwasher in my house!
