Hello.

Just got my new MAcBook Pro... (great compuer, by the way) and its not seeming to connect to my wireless internet.

Why would this be? I work off a NetGear D-Link ADSL 2 router, and te computer im currently on is connected wirelessly .... but i cant understand why the Mac wont. Any help?

Airport?

I tried using some wireless adaptor for my mac which was D-LINK and didn't get anywhere with it, bought the airport card and I was away

just don't be surprised when your warranty doesn't cover anything whatsoever.

gaurantee i didnt overpay. My brother in-law works for apple, i paid cost price

and, its a 3 year full worldwide warranty.

yeah, I know that.

imagine my surprise when my machine was sent back from the service depot unfixed because the damage supposedly occurred outside of the warranty.

numerous calls and letters to Apple went unanswered. I imagine I'll be buying a Dell or a Thinkpad this summer.

How odd, AJ. For a premium price you'd expect a premium service. Never heard much about how Apple are in that respect. Apples are expensive to fix though, or so it seems.

One of our old G4 test machines broke down a while ago. My foolish boss sent it in for repair, ended up paying €400 or so for a new mobo. For 100 more we could have had a semi-r/decent Mini.

yeah, it's stupid.

I think one of the reasons they can get away with it is the rabid nature of their "fanbase." it's telling that you can even call Apple users "fans."
