Anyone brought a power cable in showing these signs and had them replaced without much fanfare?

I haven't tried myself, but I've heard that these issues are fixed instantaneously, especially when it could cause fires, etc...

I made well over 60k last yr using a 1.8ghz IBM T50 something (Heck I don't even know since it was provided to me).

Pwnt.

Could I have done it on a Mac? No probably not - at least - not with Mac OS.

Either way I don't dislike Mac either - this is just a stupid statement.

Any Apple certified location will replace it, for free, on the spot.

How does that prove your point? You "couldn't" do it on Mac OS? Well, maybe he couldn't do it in Windows? Overall, I think the argument is moot. Just drop the whole thing. This thread has been derailed to nothing now.

That is my point...
