And Apple here in Aus need to be sent somewhere south of the moon... In case anyone is at all interested, after talking to Jo Naylor (new person in charge of cleaning up the dealers), I had another go at getting a replacement door under warrantee (for when the door I bought dies) and got another resounding "No" from local dealers. I then phoned Apple in Sydney who informed me that the _only_ warrantee caims for PB 5300s that they would entertain were those covered by the 7-year extended warrantee, but no others. To say that I was surprised is putting it mildly! The 5300 is still a very nice machine, just a pity about the company behind it.
