What you're missing (and I apologize to Evan here, who I'm sure is a trustworthy and able technician, no personal insult intended.) is that Apple, like GM, doesn't want owners to go about fixing their own machines and figuring out that you don't need to pay a technician, at least for the simple stuff. As with cars, you're supposed to support the whole system, and pay to have your computer repaired. It's nothing new - control of information gives corporations power. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
