| Buy a PC So buy a PC, not one of those sissy Macs. I've seen the commercials. Even after PC was all beat up and hobbling along, he was at least functioning. Apparently that little magnetic outlet that just pops off of the powerbook didn't just pop off.

Saint Louis, MO | It was a PowerMac....not a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
And as far as the mornic Sissy mac statement goes....there isn't a computer desktop nor laptop that would have survived it.
Do I need to whack your nose with a rolled up newspaper with the video of the PC laptop that spontaneously combusted in site of rolling TV cameras?
Now STFU. This isn't a Mac vs. PC debate. It's about morons at Comcast.

| You know, I work for the giany myself, and if ever there were an "Oops" moment, this would take the cake. One thing to consider though is Comcast is so big, that you're more likely to hear this kind of stuff about them than anyone else. I do agree that there was entirely too much voltage, or amperage (one or the other) involved to be a standard 110V connection. Comcast isn't going to spend the money to investigate the cause of the damage unless someone decides to take it further than a simple replacement and repair of the damaged parts. In this case, all the data was recovered, likely the electrical damage around the incident was repaired, the computer was replaced, and the person probably got some freebie service too. So, if mis-fortune should happen, at least you know the cable company isn't going to just let it slide. I have seen a few damage complaints get addressed, and in each and every case, the repairs are up to everyone's standard, and nobody holds a grudge. You've got to understand, when this kind of thing happens, the higher-up's step in first in almost every case, and resolution is quick. Either way, stuff happens, so sometimes you've just gotta roll with it. I doubt the tech could have fell asleep with all that "exploding circuitry" nearby. 
Speaking truthfully, I come to this site because of the news, and because it's only here that I hear so much hate for Comcast. When I am at work, I hardly ever get someone who is seriously upset.
