[QUOTE="theanimaster, post: 692630, member: 61286"] [b]You're Not Alone[/b] I too have been using macs since the Mac Plus and now I have to face the indignity of loosing my G5 iMac -- 3 DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES!!! 3 year warranty!! In that time I have had to have the iMac serviced TWICE: one for a blown power supply and the other time for a dodgy superdrive. héll -- those two components combined don't equate to the current problem in costs - THE LOGIC BOARD!!! So now I have to fork almost a thousand dollars (32,000 Thai baht here in Thailand) just to get the logic board replaced!?!?! Apple should come up with a better solution -- that the warranty should cover at least another week after the expiry date. I just keep telling myself that the iMac was jealous of my upcoming macbook pro ... that it must have sensed I was getting the MBPro to "replace" it and my ageing Powerbook (which btw, has never had to be serviced ONCE except by myself - the harddisk needed to be replaced)!! Well héll. If anyone knows how to fix a G5 iMac with a blood-red cursor (it still boots in safe-mode), let me know! But c'mon... 3 FRIGGIN DAYS!!!!!!???? [/QUOTE]
