Who the hell wants this on their Mac…

Who the hell wants to look at this on their Mac in Growl:

 

Talk about fugly!!

Freakin’ Mail app…

OK… There is something seriously wrong with my iBook’s Mail app.  I can receive just fine, but I can’t send a damned thing.  I composed several emails, but when I click “send”, it tells me that Mail.app cannot connect to .Mac port 25.

I assume since .Mac has been having problems on and off all day with it’s mail service, that this will be fixed shortly.  I’ve restarted several time and pitched the PRAM 4 times and still nothing.  Hmm…

To Apple:  I’m glad this is why I pay $99/year for .Mac.  So when I go to send a very important email to a client – I CAN’T.  Do you consider this exceptional service?  I don’t.

So I’ve decided what I will spend my tax check on…

A new iMac  Woohoo!

So yeah – a new Mac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 250GB hard drive, 8x double-layer SuperDrive, ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB RAM.

 

Parade of iMacs...

Follow-up to my post slamming Apple

I guess in all fairness (like, who ever told you the world was fair…), I should post some kind of follow-up to my recent post slamming Apple’s billing practices with my iPod Touch.

I finally did get the Touch.  I had to buy it at Walmart.  I finally did get my money back and stayed back on my card after the second unauthorized transaction.  I didn’t trust going back to the Apple Store online again, so I broke down and just bought it at Walmart.  The point is I have one (had it for a while now actually) and don’t regret it.  It’s a lot nicer than my old 4GB 2nd generation Nano.

On a lighter note, I also recently acquired a new(er) dual USB 12″ iBook to replace my older Pismo PowerBook.  The PBook was just getting to be too much maintenance for my liking.  When I have to spend more time doing file maintenance rather than creating the files, it’s time to switch.  So I purchased the iBook I’m posting this on right now.  It’s actually much nicer than I would have thought any 12″ ‘Book to be.  And for the price ($270 incl. s+h), it was a good deal I thought.
