I like Mac's we have 2 in the house. I prefer linux though. Mac's are damn
expensive and if something goes wrong with one and your warranty is over
hold on to your wallet. My wife's Ibook DC plug stop working and would not
charge or work on regular house hold current, took it to a Mac store and
they wanted $600.00 to fix. I went on the net found a parts place and
bought it for $29.00, torx driver and a special tool to split the case. 40
bucks total. On the same site they had detailed instructions on the fix.
Followed the instructions to the T and had it back up and running in 1
hour.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind in the future should the need arise.
