Amber, I was trying to point out that the cost of a new machine in four years would be close to the cost of repairing a four-year old machine, ESPECIALLY, FP iMacs, iBooks, and Powerbooks. Unfortunately, that is the reason so many machines/appliances end up in land fills: it is cheaper to throw away then to repair.
