Hi All, I don't have the original thread and the mails in it available locally, so I have to answer my own question.
As the whole thread on this subject is rather old, this is where it starts in the Debian archive: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2003/debian-powerpc-200312/msg00044.html> The reason for my message today is simply that I want to say thanks to those answering then: Shortly after your answers I ordered the "Apple Care Protection Plan" (ACPP), and only about 4 weeks later I needed it, when my Titanium broke. At this time, my 12 month default warranty had ended, and the warranty of the machine was covered by ACPP now. Interesting enough, perhaps: It was already the 2.nd time the hardware of this machine was broken, in the first 13 months after I bought it. And I bought it as new. To summarize: If I ever again buy Apple hardware at all (I'm not sure any more on whether Apple hardware is "tougher", more stable than Intel one) I'd definitively only buy it with a warranty extension like ACPP. Thanks again for your help.
