All the tray loading iMacs had this problem. They were very fragile.Funny, my tray loading iMac has worked from day one. Guess you are lying to make a point since "all" tray loaders don't have this problem.
The standard CD drive that came in my PC that was manufactured around the same time as the iMac had a much sturdier design. The system worked without it but it had to be sent in to an AARS to be fixed. If the design had been similar to most desktop PCs or Power Macs the drive could have been taken out and sent in to be replaced instead of the whole computer.
The standard drive that was in your PC wouldn't have fit. Secondly, in less than 10 minutes you can pull those drives, you didn't have to send the whole computer. But if you did I bet you got the whole computer checked out not only the drive.
That's because it really isn't any better. That's just a myth.
The fact that you personally can't discern a difference doesn't mean it's a myth. It's only your opinion.
I'm not sure where you put those two ideas together. I still maintain it was a design flaw, and the Extension Program supports this. Regarding it being an "issue" had to do with Apple being dishonest about the issue.
Again, simply because it's your belief that it's a design flaw doesn't mean it actually is one. You have offered no technical evidence, only anecdotal evidence. My son has owned one of the effected iBooks without problems. Secondly, if Apple had not yet determined what the issue was I don't think you can call them liars for saying there was no known issue, unless you have specific evidence when they determined the problem.
Me and 2000 other people. You can go ahead and call each one of them out on the issue if you like.
2000 out of almost a million iBooks sold. 2 tenths of one percent. How bout you call the almost 998,000 folks who haven't had a problem. That'll give you a different perspective, eh?
That doesn't change the fact that users of iBooks that aren't covered are left out in the cold.
Sorry, life isn't fair sometimes.
