Today I got a lesson in Apple build quality.

Sir , since your are one who likes to point out the failings of others I have amended your quote above (in red), I trust this is in order.:pMaybe. Nevertheless, Steve Jobs must have liked it and Sir Jonathan Ive has just been knighted for it!
The (backlit) keyboards on my own (earlier) Macbooks Pro are silver in colour and are located with just two screws. You have to take the keyboard out to get to the hard drive bay.
The only times I've ever opened them up was to upgrade their RAM and their hard drives. The latter is quite a complex task and involves removing and replacing a lot of differently-sized screws, so it's not a task one undertakes lightly! I was, however, extremely impressed by their build quality and the general manufacture of them once I got inside them and saw this for myself.

Fifer,
My question to you was indeed simple and politely expressed.your intellectual discipline seems to have gone into decline this last year. For that, you have my sympathy. Age takes a cruel toll, eventually.
We obviously have very different ideas about what constitutes politeness. I can live with that thought. Goodnight.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

I'm not particuarly knocking apple, just not agreeing with the design being good. Again, a lot of differently sized screws is poor design for manufature, as that means several different tools to pick up and put down, or passing the product from operator to operator for each process, and a lot of opportunity for errors. Good design is one standard size screw, used in as few places as possible, and no chance of putting the wrong one in the wrong place.0 -

The most amazing computer I've ever seen inside is my Apple G4 Cube. I upgraded its CPU (450 MHz to 1.2 Ghz), its GPU (to a GeForce 3) and its Hard drive to 120 MB – which, for me, was quite a scary task in its complexity. Even the process of opening it up is incredibly impressive. Still got it, still use it and I love it. It runs an Apple 23" HD monitor and Harman Kardon Soundsticks. Amazes me every time I look at it.
Watch this, for Apple build quality – and a very remarkable guy.
espresso,
Off to the principality this weekend - a leopard never changes it's spots.
Enjoy your weekend in Wales, espresso. :money:
If you go to the Welsh National Zoo, they’ve even got snow leopards.
You could adopt one!
Have fun: I’ll be back home in France, by then. :j

Congratulations superb troll thread Notmyrealname! The irony of your first post is rather spectacular!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Keep up the comedy.The actual paradox is that you reply to comments which you claim you ignore. :cool:
Hence the reason why LucianH mentioned the paradox in the first place, I would assume???0 -
