I'm amazed how easily stores could sell products that are in some ways modified etc. and not told in the discription and some of you guys would be fine with it... How would some of you guys feel if I created a MAC from custom parts installed OSX in it, fit it in MAC case and then sell it as a MAC. Hey it does job exactly like a MAC so it must be a MAC and screw you if you didn't bother to ask if it is a real MAC from Apple factory parts.
But that's not what happened. If you want want to use a different computer as an analogy, a more accurate one would be this:
User buys a Mac Mini.
User decides to put the Mac Mini's guts in to a different case.
User buys a part designed and advertised for a Mac Mini
User whinges when it doesn't fit in the non-standard case.
User complains that the non-standard case is allegedly compatible with the part they have ordered. Apple inform him that the parts they sell are compatible with the original case, but cannot guarantee that they will fit in anything else due to variation in their own parts, and the fact that they do not manufacture non-Apple equipment.
Whose fault is this? Is it Apple's, for not listing every single piece of equipment that the part will or will not fit, or is it the user's for assuming it will work in something for which it is not advertised?
