The July/August 1984 issue of MACWORLD has an article saying that MACs are
dying at a rate of about 2 percent although Apple is aiming at a rate of
one percent (having only one percent of MACs have a hardware failure in
their lives).  One of the causes of the "extra" one percent failures may
be that they shipped systems to Israel with 110volt power suplies when
Israel is a 220 volt country!  The death rate in that batch must have been
close to 100 percent.
