About three years ago, I sold my very decent IBM Thinkpad, made the
plunge, and bought an Apple MacBook Pro. Never had any problems with it..
Today, I was using it and the screen started flashing a little. Weird.
So I called Apple. I'm out of warranty, but...there was an issue with
the video cards on these machines, so Apple extended service for that
item to four years. So I'm covered. The tech made an appointment for me
at the Apple store. I'm not sure what the repair is, but "it will be
fixed," I was assured, and at no cost to me.

Interestingly, this laptop cost me less than the Thinkpad I had. I had
that machine for about five years, I think, before I sold it.

Boating related, because I run chart plotting software on the Macbook Pro.

When are you going? I'd like to meet you there!

Maybe Harry will be in Beddington Maine... on Dec 14 & 15th.
Why don't you come on up & find out?
