Troll.
Last Resort Upgrades.
"We know you are a stupid idiot for buying Windows, but we'll be happy to fix and upgrade that piece of crap and overcharge you only to have you come back over and over and over again."
How's that one?
You do realize this is a Mac forum right? Hence the name, MacNN...

Geek Squad. Why would you want that anyway? Best Buy BLOWS, and the Geek Squad SUCKS.
How about:
- Nerdz R' Us, but reverse the R.
- Team ScanZ
- Freakz

When has a Mac ever had to have that done?
Memory Upgrades are handled by Apple Stores. Buy their memory, they put it in free.
Why pay someone to put in memory you buy?
Hard Drives. (Ditto)
Virus Protection? < On a Mac? >
Software... < Again... do you know a Mac user that needs someone to put software on it? >
What sort of market would that be? WINDOWS.
He mentioned the "Geek Squad". They only work on PC/WIndows Machines and send all Mac problems to Apple or Applecare.
99 percent of their market is Windows based Peecees.

Would you like to place a bet on that?

I've read the whole thread, but don't get why you care if they work on more PCs than Macs.

Your statement that

Your misguided belief that Apple will sell you ram for whatever Mac you own and install it for free.
Same with hard drives.

Some people are obsessed with the idea that Macs will solve everything including world hunger, and don't realize that there's this thing called the real world out there where computers are tools and not icons to be worshipped, and where things can break, no matter what company makes the computer, and that when things break people look for support.
Can't help on the naming idea, I always sell myself. I've never taken a fancy company name of any kind.

You claim the OP will have no business because the Apple Store will do it. Thus, you either must claim that the store will upgrade all Macs, or admit you are wrong and that there is a business for older computers. Pick one, you can't have both.
Sidenote: What idiot would buy ram from the Apple Store for their personal machine?

Now you are putting words in my posts. You call yourself a moderator?
Where did I say he'd have no business from Mac users? 1 percent Mac, 99 percent PEECEE.
Where did I use the word "all". He will have 99 percent PEECEE work.
1% Mac upgrades for old out of date and unwarranteed Macs.
You do know marketshare right?
"What idiot...memory.. from Apple store."
Alot of people buy a computer and then upgrade the ram at the Apple Store. They don't have to install it or pay for it to be installed.
They call them X windows users. Switchers.

Really? I never put a word in your posts, just read them. I'd have to hit the edit button to put words in your posts.
You should really learn to read what you post. And stop whining about your overpriced MACS.
While you do that, the rest of the world will be working on real computers that are useful for business.

Sadly, this thread was doomed from the start by the immature posters that make up far too large a segment of the posters on this forum.

Forgot to quote you.
When you quote someone, be sure to respond to what you are quoting, otherwise you look just plain silly.

What are you talking about?
If you don't like Macs then why are you a moderator in a Mac forum?
You made things up that I never even wrote, and then responded to them... That's weird as hell right there.
In this very latest idiotic rant you state:
"...Stop whining about your overpriced MACS."
Where did "I" whine about Macs, and it is spelled Macs, not MACS. And where did I state they were Overpriced? < That would be making things up.
"While you do that, the rest of the world...rant..useful for business?" (WHAT?)
Macs are not useful for business? I had better call the Apple Business Unit and let them know right away, so they don't waste any more of their time selling Macs to business, big and small.

If he's not a troll, then do you want this person fixing your computer no matter what the make?
A clipping from another of his threads, which was locked by the way:
01-15-2005, 02:50 PM
Hello to all here at the forum. This is my first official post here, but I've had my mac for about a year now. My financial aid/loan will be coming in later this month. My first upgrade will be RAM from 512 to 2 gigs, next will be an external HD. I have been looking at LaCie, G-Drive, Mercury Elite, and Western Digital (all either 180 - 200 gigs). I prefer firewire to usb. Plus I will be toting it back and forth from school to the house so portability and durability will be an issue in my purchase.
My question is which would be good for the PB running photoshopCS(heavy) and some other iLife apps? Any and all info/experiences from all would be greatly appreciated. thanks
He doesn't know this basic information yet he is starting a business to upgrade computers?
Pffffft.

If his company is going to work on Macs.... in any number, even though he has no clue as to what he is doing... he can call it.

If you were around for your own fscuking thread you would know that the argument was as follows:
Go read the posts... I'm not rehashing this lunacy for you.
Are you going to school to learn how to work on computers?
I think you are a troll.
