[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 880996, member: 71075"] I agree and do believe that if an issue arises in one generation that work is done to prevent it from occurring in the next. While this may be so, new technologies mean new potential problems. So, upgrading a part of the Mini may allow for unforeseen consequences, one of which may be unexpected heat production (or a lack of proper ventilation/cooling). So, while gen 2 may have fixed the problem of gen 1 (hypothetical here), gen 3 may have a new processor for example that may not be cooled properly. All in all, I agree that with new generations come awareness of the flaws of previous generations but no engineering can account for everything. I don't disagree with your argument - I just think there needs to be caution by assuming that because it hasn't happened before, it will never happen. ;) [/QUOTE]
