Crap attitude = angry customers. As for the new OS, darned if we could get the upgrade to install from DVD, we had to burn to USB then it went in smooth as silk. Will eventually upgrade the hardware on this, more RAM, SSD, a nice contrasty red keypad + a few replacement aluminium case parts.

In all fairness when it is good or average it is excellent compared to every other company standard of service but like you say if you get a crap person they are just that and it reflects poorly on the company. I suggest that you steer well clear of Reading seems like it is still the same sort of place as 40 years ago when I went to school in that area. However I was fortunate in that I only went there to catch the train to London!

Like I said before it has a lot to do with factors such as town hall officials hell bent on getting city status, so they can line themselves up for the fat one, which is why there's so much marble & pilkington, and the generally poor standard of education Reading is infamous for. Lol.....I remember years ago I went into Seargents who at that time were Myford agents. I was looking in the micrometer cabinet, and after not much time noticed all the staff had ran off and hidden themselves. That former world renowned engineering supplie business soon went into one of Reading's trading estates, sported a bright coloured plastic front, and sold grass seed. A month after that they went bust. Want a citation of which might be the most useless town in the UK?, it has to be Reading, no shop has EVER got what you want, car parks managed by crooks, shops staffed by thick headed monkeys absolutely lacking any understanding of customer service. ...and to cap it all, undoubtedly governed by THE most corrupt town hall in the land. Crap hole, simple as that.

USA doesn't have the fastest broadband in the world by a long stretch but it is becoming ubiquitous. And you can always go to a Starbucks or Apple store and use their broadband in a pinch. I really was skeptical when my wife ordered a MacBook Air - no dvd drive? Are you kidding? But that was a year ago and it hasn't been an issue yet. Worse case, i can scoot out to an Apple store and buy a super drive if the odd emergency every comes up (though I am increasing thinking that won't happen  Apple doesn't consult us when the want to "lead" but so far they have made mostly good choices or changed. I have an external floppy disc drive in the basement somewhere that I kept "just in case."..... Cheers, Tom

steve as a ex resident of reading i really do feel for you ,luckily i moved oop norf 27 years ago ,so i don't have to put up with that crap no longer . however your approaching the problem in totally the wrong manner for reading ,what you should be doing is hanging around (is it still the butts) shopping centre and looking for someone with white eyeballs standing in a doorway smoking something that smells funny ,approach this character or characters with caution then ask them very quietly if they can go shopping ?? for you and acquire the latest mac (give them the spec you want) agree to meet them in a hour and pay at least 200 smackers for it .job done and no upgrade problems

I think that reading suffers from the Winnersh Triangle problem. All the clever boys and girls are in offices in the WT where all the high tech companies live or west of Reading at Theale or Swindon. So this leave the city centre shops to be staffed by the less good. I wont comment further as I'm sure that some of these peoe are equally good but have had lesser opportunites or inclination at the wrong tim in their life. Be generous to people if you want get the best from them! That doesnt mean give money but kindness of thought and action!

I think you have been unlucky Steve. I have used the apple store a few times and always had good helpful and accurate service.

Though personally I prefer a bit of dex amphetamine sulphate myself, kind of turbpcharges you, perfect for any confrontation. Ye it is still the Butts, though it has dropped a lot in rating since we now have the Oracle centre, which is where Mac is.
