So I contact MacOfAllTrades again, whining quite a bit louder now. So I own the hardware, but don't have control over the software or my data. They could erase my Mac, freeze the screen etc, and there's nothing I can do to stop them.

It arrived with a jammed space bar, which revealed to me that the machine hadn't been inspected before it was shipped, as even my dead grandma could diagnose a jammed space bar. So our story starts a few years ago when I bought a used laptop from MacOfAllTrades. Ok, so you knew that already, but you didn't have the proof. Welcome to the Net's most boring thread! In this exciting discussion we will examine the scientific evidence which proves that my IQ is lower than that of your dog.
