This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

I had the same darn problem with a notebook. They are hell bent on not putting different hardware into systems. Logically, I can only think its to get the consumer to purchase a new system or to keep things as simple as possible for themselves. Once you put something different into a system the warranty is very difficult to follow. They only want to warranty what was on the original receipt. The REALLY bad part is that if you manage to put something into your system outside of the original purchase they often tell you your system is no longer supported. I highly suggest you pull it out before bringing to service. This is all a bunch of crap and I am glad you brought it to everyone's attention.
