Well, five months after I switched to the Mac from Windows, I've experienced my worst computer issue ever (and I've been using computers since the mid 80s). There was a firmware upgrade late last night. I went through the motions to install it - and after moving onto the last step, rebooting, that was it. My computer no longer worked.

So, I took it to the local Apple store this morning - where they tried a couple of things - to no avail. They told me they'd need to keep it and let their techs work on it. They did, to no avail. So now it gets shipped out.

They said something about over-nighting it to wherever it goes. I hope THEY don't take too long to fix it. And that THEY will overnight it back to the Apple store where I can pick it back up.

I believe they mentioned something about it needing a new logic board. So now I'm back on my Windows desktop for the time being..

This has put a small dent in my perspective about Apple products. I know things like this can and will happen from time to time - just in my 25 years of computing, it hasn't happened - until now five months into Apple ownership...
