    I got my first ever Mac about 3 weeks ago and it's been great. Nice features in OS X and iLife n stuff. But things are getting a bit off lately. First I couldn't get the printer to set up properly. It's really a pain in the butt to set up a Windows network printer on a Mac. What makes it worst is that it doesn't print properly when I finish setting it up. A bunch of messed up characters got printed instead of my document. So I thought I'd let that slide since I can always stuff my documents in my USB disk and print it off on a PC. Not big deal.

    Now it's the 3rd week using it and I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed. I booted up the Mac not long ago and found a black dot on the screen. At first I thought it was dirt so I tried to wipe it off. Upon closer inspection it was a frikkin dead pixel. 3rd week and a dead pixel got me wondering about the build quality of Macs. Urg I guess Apple really does a good job marketing their product. I don't have a lot of experience with their customer service yet and I'm just gonna find out later. I hope the warranty covers dead pixels.
