yeah. ain't it great :)
I sure felt smug when I took it back to the shop after Apple called
them and told them 'do it for free'. Especially after they (the
shop) wanted $600 from me.
I think the warranty was three months(?), and it packed up after
about five. I did the usual, and told them it

This actually happened after about 3 months to the board I had only

I can only speak from my experience with the 500

2.
