[UPHPU] Good Mac Store Anywhere But At The Gateway

[Caleb Call]

Hmmm, I think your experience with the Apple Store is the exception.   
I have now purchased seven Macs from there and have not had any  
problems or complaints at all (and I'm a VERY picky customer).

To answer your questions though, Mac Something in Orem  
(www.macsomething.com) has been pretty good to deal with and I've  
heard pretty good things about Mac Doctors (I think thats what it's  
called) in Salt Lake.  Mac Something did some warranty work on one of  
my Mac Minis and didn't even say a thing about the self-installed  
wireless/bluetooth card or the self-installed memory.
