Well, I won't get too attached to it, then.

It's an impressive package, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there
are quality problems. Apple Computer Co. always impressed me as being
entirely too willing to compromise the quality of MY hardware/software, and
the security of my data, in favor of their profits. Did they ever come up
with a remedy for the problems? Is there a recall?
