Nothing to smile over there. New cars are often sold at smaller
margins than Macs, and rattles in cars are fixed free for a year.
If your Mac dies after 100 days, you're out of luck (or at least out
of several hundred more dollars.)
How about if all of us who have had our equipment die prematurely
(though just not prematurely enough) send a friendly little note to
John Sculley explaining that, if we're going to pay a premium for
buying un-cloned equipment from a cash-rich company, we expect
a reasonable assurance that we're buying hardware we can rely on.
Think it's worthwhile? Would it accomplish anything?
