I do agree with you, Bruce. I used my PowerBook 190 for a while as my
primary machine, before I got the Lombard, and it was notoriously
horrible, or so they said. I've used Apple's lemons, and the good
ones, but I've never had a Mac go down for any failures except for the
broken power connector on my 190, but I had a spare logic board to
swap in. :-)
I had one of those 190 lemons (hehe!). After 3 months or so, Apple
finally figured out the problems (multiple) and then Apple gave owners
a 7(!) year repair warranty on the 190 and the 5300. The PowerBook was
repaired and it became my workhorse: a very durable and reliable
machine that I used until the second trade up option in 2000, when I
traded in the 190 for a $700 discount on a Pismo - not too shabby!
Still have my wonderful Pismo which plays internet radio over my stereo
system (and is an occasional karaoke and web surfing machine).
But those first 3 months of PowerBook 190cs ownership were horrible!
Yes, the MacInTouch board will become honey for whiners. PowerBooks an
be touchy things. I have never had a problem with the Pismo, but my
early 2005 Al PB1.67 has had a few issues (some still need resolving),
but I think the Apple PowerBooks are great and beautiful and impressive
in every way!
