>My SE's 20SC died on me about two weeks OUT of warranty! The finder

	My SE died almost exactly 2 weeks out of warranty (2 weeks ago!)
Coincidence?  Planned obsolecence (sp?)?  Actually, the analog board was
the culprit, and it even turned out that it wasn't directly Apple's fault.
	For about 3(!) days I had an ultrasonic humidifier (using Cambridge 
water) about 5 feet from the mac.  This thing puts out lots of this white 
powder stuff (minerals from the water) that lands on everything.  It had 
never been a problem with my MacPlus, except to turn the screen hazy sometimes.
	Unfortunately, the SE fan apparently sucks this powder in like crazy
and dumps it all over the inside!!!!  When the repairman opened it up the
powder was all over the place!  It got bad enough to short out the analog board
somehow!!!  At least the new analog board had the quiet fan.
	
	The moral of the story: Don't Use Mac's in a Room with an Ultrasonic
Humidifier!!!!  It can be deadly.  3 days of use killed my mac (and it didn't
die until about a month later).
