re: Opinions on apple macbook pro laptops

My father bought one in 2007 or 2008. The screen went out last year. He called Apple and told them he'd just gone and gotten a flat-screen monitor and was using it as a desktop. They ran some diagnostics on it and the tech on the phone was flabbergasted at my Dad's setup.

He said other than the screen there were no issues. Said that Apple actually considered it a, "Legacy Device," and that it's no longer supported. My Dad blew up every PC we had at home. HP's, Compaq's, etc growing up. I know he thinks he's an IT expert and is always changing stuff.

So for him to go 7 or 8 years with a frickin' laptop and not be able to blow it up is impressive...
