I just need to bitch.
I love Apple and always will (until the day comes that Windows doesn’t suck. Which will be never and, thus, I resort to my earlier statement).
So I broke down today and bought myself an early birthday present — Tiger. Yay, right? Wrong. Guess whose G4 somehow does not come with a DVD player. The hell? My pathetic iMac that I got back in 1998 had a DVD player! Does the more expensive/advanced hardware not come with the good stuff?
So, now, I get to mail back the package to Apple with $10 so that I can get CDs instead of the Install DVD. I’ve been all over the Internet seeing if I can get a DVD player, but no such luck — just updates that can only be used if the Tiger system is already running.
Happy fucking birthday week to me. Considering that I don’t even own a regular DVD player (because my TV was incompatible with the one I had, so I gave it away), I should have just bought a fucking television like I had been planning to do in the first place.
