Just look at the positives.

One less apple device in world.

Ditch it and get yourself a brand new non apple device.

Yep, get a Nexus 7 and discover the joys of a tablet that breaks all by itself, so you don't even have to go to the effort of dropping it...

My house insurance covered when I drooped mine. 50 excess and money transferred into my bank account for new one within 72 hours.

And apples never break unless you drop them, is that right?

I have the right to an opinion just as frisbeej does about the Nexus 7.

"if I let a third party at it then it's goodbye to going back to Apple if something goes wrong."

Untrue. I've had stuff repaired under Applecare which I've opened up and modified. For example, I'd fitted third-party RAM to a Mac Mini (the old plastic type where opening the case requires putty knives), and they didn't so much as raise an eyebrow when a disk drive failed three weeks before the end of the three year Applecare. It's virtually impossible to open a plastic Mini up without leaving traces of your presence, so had they been looking for a reason to refuse the repair they wouldn't have had trouble finding one.

There's a difference to opening a MAC/PC/Laptop to upgrade Ram etc. to opening it up and replacing screens etc.

We know your opinion. We know you dislike Apple. Everyone has seen your posts a million times and it is getting boring.

Any thread relating to Macs, iPads, iPhones etc and you are guaranteed to be there, spouting your usual rubbish about how "apples never break" etc.

And here we are again - thehorselady has broken her iPad and wants advice, and you are gloating about it.
