group. I'll really shut up now, and post some pictures in a minute for a
change - I'm sick of the sound of my own voice! ;)

Mine was a general comment about the expensiveness of being able to
provide a drop everything instant service to people who walk in
unannounced with faulty goods. Nothsupport of Apple, who's service in
the UK is SLOW in my single experience.
My PC is fixed as required by the IT dept at work, they don't do
immediate fixes either but schedule the work in. It may be that the
job takes 1 hour but the technicians usually have 3-5 days worth of
prior commitment.
