Apple Vs. Windows Pt. II

(A continuation. See the first post to catch up)

Unfortunately, the moral of this long drawn out tale of computer betrayal is that my iMac is dead. 3 Months old and the damn thing doesn't even work anymore. What's more is that when I called Apple Care to get it all fixed up nice and dandy, the lady on the phone seemed even more flabbergasted than I on how I destroyed it. In my narrative I would spell out in excruciating detail how the Windows commandos waited until the middle of the night and the middle of the conference between the two warring computer factions and then immediately invaded the remaining 300 gigs of space.

You see, instead of partitioning my drive like Boot Camp is supposed to, it just reformatted the whole damn thing into a Windows NTSF lay out. Well when it rebooted and I went to install Windows I obeyed all the normal commands. Unfortunately for me, I had the Windows Service Pack 1 CD, and you need Service Pack 2 specifically for Windows to run on an OS X Leopard Apple machine. So then I got stuck in a never-ending loop of installing windows until I finally figured out how to eject the CD and put the Leopard installer back in.

Again, most unfortunate because I could've solved all my problems if I had just reinstalled Leopard right there, but no. I had to screw it up even more. So now whenever I boot up my iMac it gets stuck on the damn white-loading screen and I can't do anything except make it beep and eject a CD in it (which is nice in some occasions).

So the morose ending to this sad tale is that I'm going home (Jax) this weekend and I have to take my useless brick of a computer with me and give it to the only Apple Store within 500 miles of me, and see if they can fix it over the course of the weekend. It's really quite the shituation. And yes, that does say "shit"-uation.

Anyways, enough pointless ramblings. I just wanted to wrap up this story so I can focus on writing more crap about movies and games and the like. And we might have a new writer participating in the coming days, so that'll be awesome. Peace out.
