Re: Apple, the Smoke Nazi
It seems companies these days will look for any excuse not to honor a warranty or service plan.

That being said, one of the first lessons learned about working with or around electronic equipment is NO SMOKING. The tar and nicotine in the smoke can damage the equipment. And, that being said... I can see a class action lawsuit coming because the apple care warranty doesn't say anything about smoking voiding the warranty. And by the way, I've been a Mac user since 1986.

Re: Apple, the Smoke Nazi
wow, that is crazy. I have my macbook with me when I smoke too and I have the applecare warranty. I agree with the aforementioned class action comment (hopefully it doesn't get to that point) This does surprise me however because apple has always been more than accommodating with any warranty issues with my ipod, iphone and my macbook, they even helped me out after my iphone warranty expired.
unfortunately because smoking is looked so negatively upon by the general (non-smoking) public, this issue will probably not get much attention or sympathy from the media. |

 my first HDTV has some damage in the picture quality due to years of being in a "party apartment" where primarily cigarettes were smoked but lots of 'em. oddly enough it still works and is still on the original bulb (rear proj. LCD) and it had TONS of hours on it. It is now my TV in my man cave because now I don't care how much smoke it comes in contact with and the picture is still really good |

Re: Apple, the Smoke Nazi
Me, I have the utmost sympathy for the Apple geniuses who work on their computers.
Can you imagine opening one up and finding something toxic inside like .. I dunno ... cadmium, mercury or lead? All that brain damage ... they'd turn stoopid right quick like.
