Seems like everyone is writing about their analog board failures these days,
and now this outrageous service abuse story. (I presume there was just dust and not some substance like peanut butter and jelly all over the board.) I am
starting to get kind of hacked off about this - of course my analog
board failed about 6 mo ago, too. And my new board runs just as
hot (130 deg at the top left vent) as the old
one, as opposed to 115 for my neighbor's Mac Plus.
Just how many of us have experienced analog board failure?
Does anyone with access to Apple's corporate gossip have
any idea what percentage of all analog boards have failed?
Lets all bear in mind what happens to GM or Ford when something like this
happens. >:-(
Well, pardon the flameage, but,seriously, what percentage of boards have
failed, anybody know?
