if it ain't broke...
...don't fix it.
The reverse also applies.
Today I received some mail from Mom that had been delivered to her house. Amongst the (mainly) trash, was a letter from Apple regarding my iPod. I opened it up, wondering what they could possibly want, and discovered a claim form for my iPod and a Notice of Pendency and Proposed settlement of Class Action from the State of California.
Can't say I was really expecting to receive that.
The claim form contains a lot about what generation iPod I have and whether I had problems with the battery in it and what I did about it.
I can't say I've really ever had any problems with my ipod, except for the one time I tried to update it and it freaked out and died. But, I got it working again by following the useful tools on Apple's website. Never had a problem with the battery though.
Being the honest person I am, I'm not going to send in any claim form. I might just follow the case and see how it gets on, but I've never had any reason to complain.
I do find it somewhat suspicious that the claim was sent to my mother's house in the US. I bought the ipod whilst in the UK. Hrmm....
I wonder if I did have a claim, if it would still be valid given that I live outside the U.S.?
At any rate, it's not broken so it doesn't need fixing.
I should also point out that if something is broken and does need fixing then you should get it fixed right away, whatever it is. If you ignore it, it won't fix itself, and it won't go away.
Heed my advice.
