...to totally brick a new-with-factory-settings Macbook Pro. See, I was borrowing a Macbook Pro to do some work on this weekend, and I thought that I would see if I could watch the BarBri lectures I'm supposed to be watching on it. So I went to the website and clicked "Test my Mac!" to see if the computer could play BarBri lectures. Instead, it froze. Completely. Couldn't move the mouse.
So we powered-down by holding down the power button. Now you have to give it a lot of nudging to get it to turn on, and when it does, it will only give you an apple screen. If you ask it what operating systems it has on it, it doesn't think you have any. So I guess my new project for the day is reinstalling Snow Leopard.
My opinion of Apple products has always been that they do a very good job of doing what they want you to do with them, but if you want to do something else (BarBri lectures are supposed to use WMP), or something goes wrong, there's not a lot you can do about it. That was clearly on display today...
