This is a good way to buy Apple products and save some money. I have bought several computers this way, including my current iBook. They are just like new, and I’ve never had a problem.
It’s a good way to buy Apple products, unless, of course, you live in Canada. We are offered no such “Special Deals”. I guess no Apple products fail in Canada.
Sometimes it really is hard to love this company.

I’ve bought Apple refurb products before and they all broke. Fool me once, shame on me … you know the rest.
Uhh… no – it’s fool me once, shame on you – fool me twice, shame on me – i think you got that backwards Jadis

Can I just say, once and for all, no one, absolutely no one, outside of those who live off the government teet, really gives a hoot about Canada. Sometimes I wish we had a really big saw so we could set it adrift. Just beat yourselves silly with hockey sticks, or start your own computer companies, in fact, start something, do something, anything. Just quit btiching and whining about everything to do with the U.S. because, once again, when it comes to Canada, NO ONE CARES.
Geographically speaking, the U.S. is surrounded by irrelevance.
I still doubt whether to trust this. I absolutely love Apple software (especially the OS), but have thus far been disappointed by the quality of their hardware. The day after I got my first Powerbook, I had to return it due to a broken key on my keyboard. The next one I got had a busted battery that I had to ship back a few weeks later because it could never properly tell how much time was left. Currently, my “Z” key doesn’t function well, I have these small spots on my screen, and a couple of weeks ago, out of nowhere, my computer just randomly stopped recognizing my bluetooth card, so now it thinks I don’t have one installed! (I still have to bring my computer in for that one…).
Meanwhile my friend also had to return his first Powerbook, and his second one has one or two dead pixels which Apple won’t fix.
If they can’t even make new Powerbooks, how can I be sure they can fix an old one?

Voice of reality – NOT
I’m sorry your life is in such a state that you feel the need to attack complete strangers in such a manner. There are NO reported cases – NONE- of any one person being happier or better of as a result of hate and discrimintation. I am willing to bet that you will not change that statistic. Canada does not exist anymore than the US does. It is just people on the surface of a planet some normal and some angry. Geographically speaking, without prejudice and a map we can not tell borders.
Dear Voice of Reality:
Fine. But before you saw us off, please send back: all your insulin, telephones, zippers, safety pins, sea/skidoos, radios, time zones, Blackberries, Jolly Jumpers, g-suits, robotic space arms, SCUBA gear, dump truck, propellers, Raisin Bran cereal, folding ironing boards, vortex flush toilets, Scrabble games, the NBA, garbage bags, ginger ale, frozen fish, Pablum, paint rollers, farm combines, pacemakers, cobalt therapies, and, well, all the other stuff. There’s lots more.
Oh. And be prepared to freeze in the dark, as you just severed the connection to your single largest source of energy.
Have a great Canada-Free day.
Mike
Reality:
Don’t forget to send back anything having to do with: Peter Jennings, Robert McNeil, John Candy, Mordecai Richler, Pamela Anderson ,Shania Twain, Nelly Furtado, Margot Kidder, W. P. Kinsella, Bare Naked Ladies, Keanu Reeves. Celine Timothy Findley, Dion, Arthur Kent, Avril Lavigne, Michael Ondaatje, Alanis Morissette, Kim Cattrall, Morley Safer, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Jim Carrey, Natasha Henstridge, Alex Trebek, Jennifer Tilly, Le Cirque du Soleil, Sarah McLachlan, Leonard Cohen, Keith Morrison, Margaret Atwodd, Neve Campbell, John Kenneth Galbraith, Alice Munro, Kristin Kreuk, Donald Sutherland, Carol Shields, William Shatner, Douglas Coupland, Norman Jewison, Mike Meyers, Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Dan Aykroyd, Samuel Cunard, Jack Warner, …and many more.
Have a great Canada-Free day.
Mike
Hey MacPhee, don’t waste your breath on the terrorist yank, it just makes them feel worthy. They have nothing but hate and contempt for the rest of the world.
Voice of ‘Reality’,
Maybe you could get together with that other Canada Hater – you know, umm, Buchanan – and help him with that ten foot wall that he’s putting up to keep Canadians out.
Canadians won’t actually mind having to go to other countries for vacations. We’re actually welcome in other countries. There are NO ‘Ugly Canadians’ for the world to politely tolerate. And while you have plenty of tinsel, other places around the world have interesting CULTURES. And those other cultures love having visitors that want to immerse themselves in their culture, and not have to politely slop out the ‘Americanized’ version of their culture so that hicks like yourself can feel comfortable.
Enjoy ‘your’ upcoming Thanksgiving holiday – another Canadian invention – sorry, look it up. But then if you had ANY understanding of the world around you – not just what’s inside your ‘safe’ walled-up corner of it, then maybe you could save yourself from making such ignorant, hateful comments.
Sorry, in advance to my American friends. I don’t mean to characterize all Americans as hicks. It’s just seems like a lot of those that are hicks, are from ‘that’ 51% group. It’s tragic that they get to represent you.
To our Canadian neighbors..
Please realize that just because the religious (far) right wing radical faction has a choke hold on one of our political partys, and has found enough money to win the past election…. the fact remains that there are at least 49% of Americans who will never subscribe to their bigotry !
I’m sorry to say that there are idiots like”Voice of Reality” (above) among us.. But, rest assured, he is (contrary to his own beliefs)… NOT only the voice of (his fantasy ) reality… but, he doesnt speak for the rest of our country !!
Most people with a brain.. realize that our Canadian neighbors are, and always have been, our allies… but most important… our friends !!.. And, I (for one) appreciate this fact !
Please realize that his brand of bigotry and hatred is ignorant… and has no place in any civilized and educated society…
Someone put up a website, that sums up the feelings of almost half the population of the US…. you can find it .. right here
To mac dood et al:
Mike
This sums up the feelings of a lot of people in the US too…
http://www.thestranger.com/2004-11-11/feature.html
Wow, whats with the anti-Canada stuff. I like Canada.
Now, on the refurbs, I am tempted but am gonna hold off for a dual core G4 (or a G5) Powerbook.
thanx anastasia…
At least your link gives me hope !
As a little footnote to my post…. It was a Canadian friend of mine who passed me the link I posted !!
If you have some time on your hands … check out a few of the galleries that guy has…. some are comical !!
M. T. MacPhee
right back at ya…. wish I knew how to grab a smiley to flash at you, but
I cant see any in Safari
To mac dood:
It’s part of the new upgrade. Put in a colon/end parenthesis and it comes out a smiley!
I’m gonna try a frown just to see what happens:
🙁
Mike
To mac dood:
Well, I suppose that it is fitting that smileys work and frowns don’t. Some kind of lesson in life there.
Mike
Alas, in Canada there is only one conservative Province. Of course, the color usage up here is backwards. Liberal is red and conservative is blue. It does make some sense though. Liberal – red – communism. You can see the association.
Wooo scuba gear! Oh no! Oh my gosh! Whatever would we do without Canda!
ROTFLMAO
What a bunch of wanking whiners.
Ohh the U.S. is hateful and racist! Whine. Ohhh the U.S. is so mean. Wahhhhhh!
“……Liberal – red – communism. You can see the association…”
Ya know MT MacPhee…
Considering the results of our last election, I was beginning to worry that we had cornered the market on idiots… but thanx to people like Al.. I guess I dont have to worry about that…do I ??
Thanx Al !!…. now you can let your mommie have her computer back !
Wow.. look how a discussion about refurbe Apple hardware could get sidetracked into a discussion about Canada, Canadiens, biggotry, far right and far left wing zealoutry… I mean, c’mon!
If I started talking about gastro intestinal surgery, you folks would find a way to divert it into a political discussion to take pot shots at those you disagree with! I bet you guys are a riot at the holiday dinner table…
To the Canadiens up north, we love it that you guys living on a frozen wasteland consisting of a very large beached iceburg! It shows the human spirit and stands as a beacon of triumph at what humans can endure.. no really, kind of like the people that man the Antarctic polar station. Personally I prefer the sun, and warmth and things like that.. call me spoiled.. I live in CA.
As for Voice of Reality, I personally just think he was trying to make a joke, and I personally thought it was funny. I think everyone just got all bent out of shape and hot under the collar for nothing. People make fun of California, where I grew up and where I have 4 generations of ancestors on both sides of my family. I don’t take offense at that. People, lighten up a bit. Lost in all this grandstanding and fingerpointing is VoR’s point that Canadian’s are whiners, I’m sorry but a lot of you Canadians on this message board do whine a lot. Prove me wrong if you can.
M. T. MacPhee, I liked your lists, they were amusing, but c’mon don’t expect anyone to give credit to Canadiens for “inventing” frozen fish!? I could drop one on the ground up there and “invent” the same thing! By the way, you listed Jim Carrey’s name 2x unless there’s a second Jim Carrey I don’t know about!
Road Warrior.. what was the point of your “terrorist yank” comment exactly?
Badpop, 3 things, first lighten up. Second, I’ve traveled a lot more than most people on this board probably have, and neither myself or my family was part of that “Ugly Americans” you speak of, although I have no doubts that they exist, but you cannot say there are no “Ugly Canadians” as well. Lastly, I understand you don’t agree with George Bush, but your ignorant comment about the 51% that support him being hicks and ignorant and tragic is no less offensive than what Voice of Reality said.
mac dood, I suppose you’re prepared to defend your comment that people on the “eligious (far) right wing radical faction” are biggots, while people on the left are not? Please. There’s plenty of racism, sexism, xenophobia, division, and intolerance to go around on BOTH SIDES. Look at the very racist nature of the political cartoons about Condaleezza Rice for an example. And it goes on and on from there. Liberals are not tolerant (only of other liberals). Also, your complaint about the “Liberal – red – communism” shows more ignorance from you. First calling someone you disagree with an “idiot” making a personal attack rather than addressing the relative merits of his belief, and second, liberalism and communism really do share a common bond, look how the Democratic party wanted to treat the Soviet Union during Regan’s presidency, Nicaragua? Cuba? And do they not want to have more socialism, redistribution of wealth, ummm… okay so what are the main differences exactly, besides not murdering millions of people to get their agendas accomplished?
anastasia beaverhausen, sadly I would expect an ignorant, hate filled diatribe link from you 🙁
Bottom line, everyone take a deep breath, get a grip, and find a sense of humor. Life is too short to carry a brick around your shoulder. If you don’t agree with someone politically, try to find a more diplomatic and less condescending way to express that point of view. Thank you.
twilightmoon. SHUT UP AND GET AN F’N LIFE YOU LOSER. This is no place for your type of sh*t.
…To the Canadiens up north, we love it that you guys living on a frozen wasteland consisting of a very large beached iceburg!…
First, do mean the hockey team or ‘Canadian’ citizens. Second, after you get your head out, dig up some reference material. Contrary to YOUR ignorance, Canada isn’t an iceberg.
…As for Voice of Reality, I personally just think he was trying to make a joke, and I personally thought it was funny…
Of course you did.
…but c’mon don’t expect anyone to give credit to Canadiens for “inventing” frozen fish!?…
In Canada all the fish live their entire lives – roe to spawning – in blocks of ice, we just carve them out from the lakes and ocean right from our kitchen windows on Friday afternoons!
I either made that up, or you don’t know that the temp does not actually drop 40 degrees – when you cross the 49th! How ignorant of you.
…I understand you don’t agree with George Bush, but your ignorant comment about the 51% that support him being hicks and ignorant and tragic is no less offensive than what Voice of Reality said…
So, what VoR said was a joke – it was funny, and I should best ‘lighten up’. Maybe I was trying to be funny, but Canadians are so ‘uptight’ I couldn’t tell if I was – being funny. My apologies, but let me be more clear, 100% of the hicks support your man. [;-)]
Anyway, maybe you should follow VoR’s lead, he doesn’t care what Canadians think
