Next message: jason: "[WinMac] OSX resource- darwin"
the goal is fixing it myself.
why pay some shmuck for labor when
i most likely know more about the
process involved than they do?
i just cant get the parts..
you know..
i used to work at a compusa, bought the mac
there as a refurb for 600..
i totally rebuilt the thing
from its humble beginnings (stock)
into a fully customized maxed out badass..
for a 233 beige box. ;)
it just left warranty period,
of course.
the idea of dragging it back
to a compusa and letting their (generally)
inept techs (in _my_ experience)
touch my baby gives me the willies.
or am i just being a weenie about this?
thanks for the tips.
you guys wr0ck.
