I've seen so many of those situations, just a few examples: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1) iPod battery. You CAN buy a new one and install it yourself at your |
| 20 |
own risk, OR you can invest 100$ (that's A LOT were I live) for Apple |
| 21 |
to do that for you, while they should fix their own break stuff free |
| 22 |
of charge. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2) Console games that have copy protect. You could easily backup, keep |
| 25 |
the original safe and play with the copy, but NO, a simple fall and |
| 26 |
you loose your money. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3) Those damn mechanical stamps at work, you could simply buy ink and |
| 29 |
recharge the softpad, but NO, that will void warranty and probably |
| 30 |
damage the stamp so you must buy a new, original softpad. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just to name a few... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
At least with Gentoo you own only respect and admiration for the ones |
| 35 |
that provide it (and a few dollars for those wonderful shirts and |
| 36 |
mousepads *lol*) |
