Well over here in France, I inquired about reparing my 5 years old G5 which
motherboard now works only with a hair dryer heating up... due to a kind of
defective conception... answer from apple was (i won't comment on how I
felt!) beyond 5 years, nothing can be done, and "computers are not meant to
last longer" !!!
I looked at my first apple SE/30 still running from nearly 30 years now..
and I thought whouaou they changed something in their mind!!!
And I thought, ok guys, I will no more express the idea that apple = top
quality from now on...
so now, apple is just a commodity like other brand, same hat..
I think I'm ready for Linux now!!!
But Linux doesn't sell computers !
No, but System 76 and ZaReason do - exclusively Ubuntu pre-installed:

<http://zareason.com>
And check this out: if you send a self-addressed stamped envelop to the
good folks at System 76 they'll send you a package of several "Powered
by Ubuntu" stickers to replace your "Made for Windows" sticker, and some
Ubuntu-logo Special key stickers to cover the Win logo on your keyboard:

While the System 76 office is in Colorado (where MetaCard was born) they
have affiliates you can send your request to in more than a dozen
countries worldwide, so you can get your "Powered by Ubuntu" stickers
easily from anywhere in the world.
