Then along came Ruth, who took her son's iMac to an authorized repair center. After five days, they apparently told her they couldn't work on it because it was contaminated with cigarette smoke and was therefore a bio-hazard.
When Ruth appealed to Jobs' office, she said she was told by someone named Dena that nicotine was on OSHA's list of hazardous substances.
However, as she wisely pointed out to The Consumerist: "OSHA also lists calcium carbonate (found in calcium tablets), isopropyl alcohol (used to clean wounds), chlorine (used in swimming pools), hydrogen peroxide (also used to clean wounds), sucrose (a sugar), talc (as in powder), etc... as hazardous substances."
One final appeal to Ruth's local Apple store failed, as she was allegedly told that tar from cigarette smoke had made it uneconomical to even attempt a repair. Ruth claims that only one person in her household smokes.

2. The other quoted the first complaint. I quoted the second

... with Apple's bullshit excuse.

Besides. Is only one thread allowed anymore? Post the rule changes.

5. I love the dupe police - and the spelling police - and the unrecommenders

and I appreciate the thread. I was thinking of buying a mac but if they are such delicate machines that a little smoke can void the warranty then I think I'll pass. I can't even imagine what the fumes from running the oven clean cycle would do to it.
