If a component fails due to overheat caused by grot build up, then void the warranty for that reason, but a general warranty refusal based on the presence of a questionably toxic substance (like as if nothing built into a computer is toxic anyway) that is perfectly legal to buy and use just doesn't fly. Apple is like a corporate Born Again non smoker on this one.
William Robb =============== There isn't any second hand smoke in a computer. Unless the computer is smoking. :-) Very good point. Motherboards are considered hazardous waste in the US and are supposed to be disposed of in special ways, not put in dumps. Because of the gold and silver in motherboards, which are more toxic than any gunk build up in a computer.
