Oh gee, and I just have the a-hole friends that use me

(sorry, I'm a bit bitter since a friend's younger brother just did this
to me. He had an iMac that he bought used, and had been having problems
with, and has been using me for the last two years for support to keep
it running. Well, he got sick of it this week, and bought a new one. I
found out last night when my friend was raving about how great his
brother's new iMac G4 was... and when I asked what he did with the old
one, I just about drove over there to choke the living shit out of the
kid when I was told that it went in the garbage on Wednesday's curbside
pickup)
Well, at least you can have solace in knowing that he's a very bad person
for sticking toxic waste (as defined under California environmental law)
into the garbage.
Next time, let him know in advance that you'll be wanting the system once
he upgrades ;)
