My computer is officially out of service. Every time I try to turn it on, it decides it wants to stay off. I have had the computer for a year and a half. The warranty was only for a year so I'm left out high and dry. Do companies know how to make products so that they make it just past the warranty? As I was a student of Marketing in my undergraduate days, I do think this is a good method to ensure that you maintain customers. I had no complaints about my Apple for its entire life. I never had one virus or even an error message. And now I am addicted to my macbook so of course, if it is unrepairable, my next purchase will be an Apple. It makes me a little sick how aware I am of these marketing strategies and yet I remain a victim.
Unfortunately, my computer was our only phone, internet, CD player, DVD player/television, weather channel, and it has all of my pictures on it. It provided hours of entertainment. Now, I just have Ryan. While we are in the midst of deciding what to do, we have been keeping ourselves entertained with the dogs that live on the roofs next to us. One of the roofs has over ten dogs on it at all times. There are two big dogs and 3 1 yr old labs and then 5 or 6 new puppies that are always playing. It's not quite as entertaining as my laptop, but it will do for now.
