Oh yeah.... I second the 'BALONEY'!!!! How do you 'overstress' a Mac or 'overwork' one'????????? * Imagination at work * * Putting it on the ground in the horse pen to try to keep the horses hoofs clean comes to mind as a way of 'over working' it. (Assuming you can teach the horse to keep all four legs on the key pad.) * Sitting outside in a rainstorm happily typing along is probably outside of the normal 'workload' that Apple planned for us to be asking of it. * Using it as a snow shovel to get your car unstuck is perhaps a bit over the limit too. Beyond that, there are probably MANY machines that sit day after day after day without EVER being turned off. Other people run them relentlessly with an automatic shut off option in use. It occurs to me that since Apple DESIGNED the software with an autostart item, perhaps its logical even to a simpleton that the machines are designed to regularly be started up and shut off on a daily basis. The word DUH! comes to mind here. The so called 'tech' was way out to lunch at best. Don -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
