Nothing about anything

But since I've been on a Mac-evangelism streak lately, I thought I'd point out that the results of the 19th Annual Reader Satisfaction Survey conducted by PC Magazine has Apple ranked at number one. The score is compiled in terms of user experiences at home and at work, as well as repair or support incidents within the past twelve months. Apple was hailed as "the leader of the pack" by the magazine for both desktop and notebook systems, while other leading companies were ranked highly for one or the other, but not both.

Just saying, is all.

In fairness, I'll point out that my 4-year-old iBook is still out of action due to its recent and lamented logic board failure. Though given the number of times I've accidentally dropped it, I guess it needed a rest. I can't wait until I make big boy money and I don't have to choose between making my crippling student loan payments or getting it fixed.

Well Mr Fairchild,

I'm upgrading to one of the fancier iBooks (mine is about two years old- *gasp*). If you'd like to purchase mine off of me (by purchase, I mean that you don't have to pay me for a year or so) for a very very small price, just let me know. Mine still has quite a bit of applecare left in 'er.

That would be (wipes away drool from gaping mouth)... amazing. I'll send you an e-mail about it.

You are awesome.
