Spot on. Quality control is truly Apple's Achilles heel. My PowerBook G4 broke down irreparably after three months. The fact that I was using it to run my business seemed to make no difference to Apple. Getting it replaced was a nightmare. I recommend Slashdotters to read Corporation by Joel Bakan in which the author says that, since companies have the same rights as people, what kind of people are they? He then enlists a psychiatrist whose diagnosis is that the average corporation is a psychopath.
