This is slightly off topic... Okay, it's completely off topic. :-)

My opinion that iMacs are tough to work on is from hearsay and from the 
one time I had my iMac in the shop. I had purchased a brand new 300 MHz 
iMac from Apple, and when it arrived everything worked perfectly, except 
that it had no sound. Since Apple's policy is to fix rather than to 
return (grrr...), I had to bring it to our authorized repair dealer on 
the Texas Tech campus. The techs there pointed out that they hated 
working on iMacs because the simplest repair/replacement required them 
to completely disassemble the whole chassis.

Six weeks later, they still had not found the source of my sound 
problem, and Apple eventually agreed to replace the iMac with a new one 
(a faster model, so I couldn't complain about that part).

Needless to say, I was not pleased by Apple's policies in this escapade. 
Am I guilty of "playah hating"? ;-)

Now, back to our usual programming, already in progress.

Best wishes,
Clint
