Is Apple suitable for the freelancer?

Also, forgot to mention the brilliant ending to the story. All this was happening around the same time Gizmodo and Engadget were having fun reporting "emails from Steve Jobs".

I emailed a copy of all my Genius Bar woes to [email protected] - nothing for 3 weeks, when one morning I awoke to a phone call from my local Apple Store. They said they'd heard about my troubles 'via Cupertino' and promised me if anything ever went wrong again, I'd get a full refund...!

That's brilliant. Did anybody try any loctite on those screws?

Can't say I know too much about Loctite (as far as I know they don't sell it in the UK where I'm from), but they did point out that each of the screws had a small amount of blue substance on their bottom half. Supposedly this was meant to stop them coming loose, although clearly it wasn't much use...

You get Loctite as a brand in the UK more commonly known as superglue, the other thing you can use is thread lock - somewhere like Halfords will stock it.
