Re: Attention Macintosh owners

We've had 6-7 of them for our staff. At least 3 of them have had hard drive failures. Two of them occured while under warranty. The other failed within a week of the warranty expiring. We have a great supplier . . . . so they sold us the Apple extended warranty and just back dated the purchase day by a couple of weeks . . . which was very nice of them. Your friends should see if they can work that angle. Needless to say we now get the extended warranty on all laptop purchases. busguy [/ QUOTE ] This seems like very good advice to me. |

Re: Attention Macintosh owners
Bought an iBook in 2001, logic board failed after about 2 years. Didn't use it for a year or so because it was going to be like $750 or $800 to fix, almost the price of the laptop. Finally someone started a class action and Apple replaced all the logic boards for free.
However, my hard drive died about a month ago and so the laptop is down for the count again. |

Re: Attention Macintosh owners
mason,
this same thing happened to me as well. i had 5 logic board replacements on my mac in 3 years (+1 HD failure). i still think mac > pc, but ultimately, i am making the switch back to the windoze. |
