I cannot believe their incompetence. Exactly one month and three days ago I first visited this store as a then-strictly-pc-user. I already blogged about my experience there, the good, the bad, and the ugly. But it doesn't end there. I picked up my iMac from repair this morning (a day later than they promised), brought it home and started it up. It had a new hard drive, no data. They were going to charge me for putting all my data back on there even though they're the ones that sold me a bad hard drive in the first place, but I was too quiet of a mouse to argue so I decided to try it myself. Time Machine recovery worked flawlessly, except for the new clicking sound now emitting from my external backup drive. Thankfully it didn't die in the middle of the process, so I have my computer restored.

The fan is noticeably louder, but I figured if that's the worst of my problems, I'll deal with it. Guess what, it's not the worst of my problems. My iMac now goes into sleep mode as it should, but won't come out of it. Moving the mouse, tapping keys on the keyboard, tapping the power button, none of it brings it back. I have to hold the power button in until it eventually powers off.

I called the store and was told, "Gosh, that doesn't sound right." I can either A) call AppleCare Support, or B) make another appointment with the idiots who sold me a bad computer and then broke it while repairing it, she recommends B. Not on your life, I'm never stepping foot back in that store again!
