i hope you have one of these:


Really a must when you buy any mac or ipod.

I have an iBook G3, PowerMac 5400/180, and my MacBook.
You can probably already distinguish the ages of all three.

The iBook got the hard drive replaced once about 9 months ago

the PowerMac nothing

and the MacBook got its screen, upper case, battery, iSight, and two power bricks replaced
and also don't forget the whine, mooing, discoloration, the bottom of the computer at 130ºF, and kernel panics!

Parker:  
Well I guess we all have had different experiences with Apple. Since 1986 I have had a, FatMac, SE, SE30, 7200, 1400, 9600, 6400 (maxed out with Sonnet, USB, Etc) now a G5 IMAC, and a 13" G4 Powerbook. I never have sprung for AppleCare and this current issue with the IMAC is the first of any of them to ever go to the "Shop". It appears that the "extended warantee" will ultimately get this issue resolved.  HUGE savings and pretty fair quality control from my standpoint. Sorry you have not experienced the same.

Patience rewarded.  Apple has agreed to replace the logic board at no cost. Guess I can consider that an early Xmax present.
