I know that I came out ahead on this deal. Let me say that the PB1.33 was great for three years but the logic board decided to go out a couple of times. My history with Macs is not very good, my first machine, a 7500 had a hard drive that lost all information including OS, two or three times a month. The service center never could recreate the problem and it drove me crazy. I would turn it on and there was nothing on the hard drive. Imagine in those days, Photoshop was a dozen floppy disks and I had to completely rebuild my system. After about 60 days Customer Relations replaced the machine. In the meantime, I had to have a computer and I bought a Power Computing unit. Remember them? Did I mention the 1710AV monitor that was recalled?
Then there was the PB G3 Wallstreet that was great until the display hinge clutches gave out but Apple never acknowledged the problem. I looked at that invoice recently and I paid $3000 for that machine. Then the PB1.33 and the logic board problems, I gave them a couple attempts and then I called Customer Relations. They would wait till it got back from the service center before making a decision. Two days later the Apple Store called and told me they would replace it with a comparable unit. Does it sound like it's been all rainbows, butterflies and unicorns? I laugh at those Apple commercials and the image that they convey. As a photographer, I am not trilled with the all glossy line up and think that Apple is forgetting who bought their early products and who helped them establish that pro reputation.
