You've not delt with all that many Macs then... The early G5s were absolutely horrible, failure rates of easily 30% right out of the box. The same was true with the early MDD G4s. Oh did I mention that the MDD G4s were backwards? The heat of the processors rose into the expansion cards?

I'd say you are correct, but that Rochester isn't even that well known for the lake effect snow. (not that it doesn't get it, but I don't think it holds a candle to the buffalo area). I live near Corning which is more south of Rochester and my in-laws live between Jamestown, NY and Erie, PA

So there is NO moving part in an IP that is lubricated with JUST fuel? engine oil lubricates everything? Cant't see how that could be...I'm probably wrong, but would like a little more info/confirmation. Is there ANYTHING we need to concern ourselves about regarding ULSD? Thanks!

Will dig up a diagram. FYI, the sulphur is not what lubricates. The process which removes the sulphur destroys the lubriciity. I've heard this before (from Stanadyne) and the Chevron website makes the same point. ADDING sulphur to ULSD will NOT help lubricty, so if some yahoo comes
