Aperture Fading into irrelevance Locked

On any number of levels I find Apple irritating, but the most annoying thing was a particular transaction which exposed me to their anti-support system. The sole design criteria for that system ( the very worst I have encountered anywhere ) is to keep complaints as far as possible away from Apple proper by keeping them stuck in a loop in a call center ( Indian in this case, but India wasn't the problem ).

You don't want me to start listing the other issues I have with Apple Suffice to say I've been building my own systems ( and programming ) for a long, long time and after a short time been obliged to deal with Apple they replaced Microsoft as the most annoying company I'd dealt with. They're even more annoying that all but two civil service organizations I have dealt with.

The only thing I really liked about Apple was that they produced the smallest and most compact PSU for their laptops that I'd ever seen for a laptop. That wasn't benefit enough to make me deal with the rest of the pain of being a "happy" Apple customer.

The beatification of Steve Jobs, a man I would not have bought a used rock from, is simply a last stab in the back from one of the more greedy and smug organizations I have had the displeasure to encounter.

I'm happy for you that your experiences were different. I loath them just about every possible way,
