Now *those* are words to make one shudder . . . 

:_)

But I once got a new high-end laptop from it . . . 

Remember several years ago, when the MacBooks had a problem when switching video cards (the Pros had two, one for performance, and one for battery life)?   


I had one of the first (maybe the first) machines on which it could be replicated.   Mine kernel panicked several nights a week.

I brought it in, and it was spitting codes that weren’t even in Cupertino’s database.  The third time, they wanted to do an autopsy, I think . . . so they refunded my machine, and sold me the newer version (the middle 15” Pro) for the same price—and commented that they (at the store) had two reasons:  I always brought in interesting questions, and the I’d actually understand and appreciate what they were doing.
