I’ve heard that it causes computers to not be able to start up again… but I don’t know if anyone else in the WORLD is having the same problem I’m having right now.
I must have run the installer 8 times. Every single time, the computer beeps (and very loudly… it scared the crap out of me thinking I messed up my computer AGAIN… [sidenote: for some reason, I really believe that the 10.4.8 b0rked my ACPI settings… and had to go into the Genius Bar to get it fixed… but they don’t know what cause it in the first place), but alas, that was just part of the installation process.
I saw a glimpse of the bar that SHOULD pop up when you do a firmware update… the black and white bar that pops up (the same that pops up for iPod firmware updates). At first, I thought that the update happened so quickly that my eyes FPS wasn’t fast enough, and all I saw was an empty bar, then 10% of a bar, then a restart.
After the second, third, fourth… eighth time, I realize that something’s amiss. I don’t know what it is, but I haven’t seen it reported ANYWHERE else on the google. It’s strange… I wonder if this is another one of those Genius Bar trips.
It’s ingenious though… if something breaks down, you can just travel to your nearest Apple store. While you’re there, and am frustrated out of your mind, you get to look at the soothing white walls… and all the pretty iPods and people shopping. Somehow, your mind relaxes…
I remember the Chicago Apple Store… the Genius bar was upstairs, facing away from the pretty work-of-art staircase. Maybe there’s a reason why the Genius bar is so hard to get to.
