OK, I have to say that I"m a little dissapointed in Apple computer for their packaging of i-life for the up to date program, I just got a new computer and it should have shipped with the latest software, but the computer had bean sitting for a while I think and was packaged before they could get the i-life up to date with the computer, so I called apple to get the most current version of i-life (lets face it, I wanted to play with Garage band as much as the next guy, maybe more, I still have to plug my guitar into it to see how that works, anyway, so I called apple, they wanted $20 to ship me the CDs, now I was a little upset with this as in the past if apple didn't ship stuff with current version of operating systems they would send out for free or maybe a minnimum handling charge, well, I thought $20 was a bit steep, I still think it is, but at least I know where the money went, it went into the grossly oversized box that my discs were shipped in. The software comes with 1 DVD and 1 CD, now I am going to interrupt and say that I'm dissapointed that software no longer ships in sturdy cases that all software seems to be shipped in plastic sleeves now, but that aside, I recieved 2 plastic sleeves with a disc in each sleeve shipped in a box that was 20" by 20" by 8 inches deep. I was stunned, then to add to my confusion I figured since I was paying for that shipment might as well get some blank DVDs with the purchase and ordered a 5 pak, I can get discs cheaper, but the convience thing had some appeal, anyway, that shipped seperatly in a case that was half the size, now that was a 5 pack of discs in those slim cases.. I don't know thats my rant for today.
Music Listened to: The Faint, The Cure, Front 242, Love and Rockets, Cherrie Blue, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult.
Food Eaten: Stir Fry with mock duck and other stuff
Moral of the Day: when you call apple care, act really stupid even if you already know the problems.
