Re: It would be nice.

Don't you hate that?

Case in point:

Tech: What seems to be the problem?
Me: My DSL modem won't sync
Tech: What OS are you running?
Me: Does it matter?
Tech: Of course!
Me: OSX 10.4
Tech: That's why, DSL technology is incompatible with macintosh systems. Get a PC.
Me: No!

Dialup is like being digitally crippled. You just can't do what everybody else can.

Re: It would be nice.

I've had a similar conversation with Verizon DSL before. Once I stated that I was connecting with a Mac, they shunted me off to the one Mac support rep they had (with the additional hold time).

Re: It would be nice.

You must've called on a bad day (not that this sort of thing can be planned, of course). Usually the mac people are the ones sitting around waiting for calls.

Given that new Macs can now run Windows, I'm surprised that such a response hasn't become commonplace for Mac users who complain about things not working for them.
