[QUOTE="slyydrr, post: 199672, member: 16374"] I'm sorry to hear this happened, and it's a pain in the @$$ I'm sure, but at the same time, things like this shouldn't deter consumers. It's frustrating reading some of the responses to things like this, and I'm not trying to point fingers, but people, this happens with all sorts of products every day. I'd presume a good portion of you have seen Fight Club. They stuff talked about in that movie about recalls is no BS. Products of all sorts and sizes have failures. Here is just one quick example: [url]http://www.llnl.gov/es_and_h/lessons/e-dell_battery_recall.html[/url] My point is that every product involving any kind of electrical wiring is susceptible to possible fires. The fact that this has only happened with 2 so far (out of I would imagine tens of thousands, not sure of an actual number of sales thus far) is proof enough that it seems to be a few isolated cases. Also, and I haven't really dug deep to read into it, but was it written anywhere that the computer power supplies were plugged into a surge protector? I'm sure they were, but that could be a whole other aspect to consider. Things happen... gas leaks lead to explosions, brakes go out on cars, planes crash, h*ll, even my d*mn AC almost caught on fire last summer. That doesn't mean people shouldn't buy a stove, or drive a car, or fly on a plane for that matter. And you d*mn well better believe that I'm going to use AC next summer.. :) I'm not saying don't be cautious... by all means take precautions... my AC is never on when I'm not home anymore (it's a window unit), and if I smell a gas leak, I call Consumers Energy to be safe. To do otherwise would be naive, so don't think that's what I'm implicating... Sorry to rant, but it seems I'm one of the few people around these forums who tries to look at the positive side of things. Things happen, life goes on. Don't let isolated cases ruin your perspective on the MacBook Pro, or life for that matter. [/QUOTE]
