This group is intolerable of talking about Apple problems and solutions to keep the computer we all use from fading away. Which it could do at anytime and not too many people would be upset.

For what it costs and how much Apple hypes the "quality" of their products AppleCare should be damn near instant. Of course, for those like me that paid $2200 for a Pismo 4 years ago that now works when it feels like it AppleCare is no longer available. Now of course Apple's reccommended solution to this problem is for me to give them another couple grand for a new AlBook and 3 more years of Applecare.... Fat chance!- I can buy a stack of Pismo's for that kinda money, compute for years on them, and never drop a dime at the Apple Store again. No wonder Apple's share of the computer market continues to drop.
But isn't the new Mac Mini supposed to draw in the "switchers" to replace the old Apple fanatics that have been driven off? Today at the local MicroCenter store the Mini Mac was being ignored while the aisles of the "Build Your Own System" section were busy. With 20% off on BYOS stuff the Shuttle et al "cubes" look tempting. And one can pretty much see that the PC vendors will match the Mac Mini on price with an LCD display, keyboard, mouse, etc. thrown in to boot..
And given Apples recent quality problems, one can easily see busted Mac Mini's backlogged months for repairs, while the "switchers" switch right back never to buy Apple again!
