[QUOTE="billycole, post: 52719"] [b]Update on the original problem. And, is mac going out of biz?[/b] That machine was still in factory warranty so I ended up taking it in to Fry's (where I bought it) to have them look at it. It turned out that the mother board was bad (I think someone here mentioned to look at the "Logic board" but I'm not sure if that means motherboard in Mac terms or what). So, they gave me a full refund and I bought a dual G5 and it's been running like a champ ever since. I heard also that a few of the macs had this same problem. Anyway, so that's that. To change the subject, I heard someone saying the other day that Apple may be dropping their Mac product line or going out of business or something big like that? It was quick and basically an "in passing" conversation and I hadn't had my coffee yet so I don't really remember what was said, but.. does anyone know anything about this? It bums me out because, although I've been a PC/Windows person for several years, I really enjoy macs a lot and got my wife one too. So, any truth to this? ~billy [/QUOTE]
