Like a lot of 2400 users I've been following the tales of "green means stop"
on this list. Min's still fine but I would really like to know how many
hours of use (TechTool Pro lite is an esay way to find out) and, I suppose,
whether those hours were in rough, on the road conditions the machines that
are having problems actually have. The other point is that a number of us
enthusiastic semi-geeks use this list, and I wonder if there is really a
large % of users having difficulties.
