Since you stated you are guessing, your figures are useless for anything other than a basis for your desire to argue with someone and present yourself as an expert. Not that there is anything wrong with that since I also love to do the same... :) You have no idea how many books are being returned to Apple for service, which is excellent, and until you do, you might add the disclaimer to your posts, "Charles Martin does not have access to the actual repair figures on any Apple Computer." Since all new models are in effect beta and subject to the same reliability problem of any new product, it is to be expected that problems will appear. What is amazing is how good Apple is at fixing them and compared with other service providers, Apple is the best. --- If CNN had broadcast our troop movements and plans analyzed by retired generals during World War II, Hitler would have won. jackrodgers at earthlink.net http://www.jackrodgers.com
