Very entertaining thread, but it's been a long holiday weekend, and I
have to get to bed, but I do want to chime in here. A good friend of
mine also had a motherboard go bad on his G5. Since he is a very
persistent engineer, he ended up getting great service from Apple, but
I know he is far above the norm. I can see others who would have ended
up feeling as Doc does partly because Macs are a niche product that are
hard to self-service, and Apple holds most of the cards. If my Windows
box has a bad motherboard, I can replace it myself for about $70.
Here is my simple question. If Macs are so great, why do they have
such a small market share? Perhaps as you ponder this, you might see
that Doc could possibly have a point. If you refuse to see this, then
I would say that your view of Macs is more a religious than utilitarian
view.
