I'd love to hear an explanation to this. I'd also like to know how to
find out the life-span of my Mac, so I can tell if 30% off is OK.
I have a power-strip connected to the back of my Mac. Into this strip
I connect my monitor, modem, zip drive, hard-drive, and printer. I
did calculate the power draw in order to stay within the
power-supply's limit (I hope).
Although this may be irresponsible, it's been working for over four
years. How many do I have left?
