So your assertion is that when I run into a kext that is broken in an OS X update, I should somehow modify it myself instead of talking to my dedicated Apple rep, who forwards it to Engineering, who fixes it in the next rev? Yup, makes perfect sense. Wtf?

Ok, I'm out. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

The only difference you have proven between yourself and I is... While you're calling the customer support hotline asking for help, I already have the answers.
Just think. If people never CHOSE to go in and tinker with hardware, software, or anything else in the world... there wouldn't be PC's, wouldn't be Macs, wouldn't be linux, etc. We'd still be in the dark ages.
I could just as easily have bought a Mac Pro. But why waste money that I don't need to waste?
I like building shit. I like tearing things down and finding out how they work. And as an end result, I can run install and run Windows, Linux or Mac on this machine, natively. The choice is mine. And it's people with minds like mine - well, far greater than mine really, but with the same or similar ideology - that make all these things simple consumers such as yourself enjoy.
Again, while you're on the phone with Apple support, I've already addressed the problem. This is the difference between you and I.
