I have gotten home and attempted to install the upgrade to MacOS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 from 10.6.0 again, and guess what, still not working… So I am faced with another 40km trip to isolate the issue, or, as will be the case, a telephonic debate with the idiot who assured me that he had tested the drive… Now, why I said it was the drive as well, was because windows installation via BootCamp doesn’t work either, it gets to the point where it says; “Getting Ready To Start Windows Setup” and not a step further (after a two hour wait).
If a computer company wants to act all pompous and holier than thou, then their products should at least work, as of right now they are firing 0 for 3 in every Apple product that I have ever purchased.
