We appreciate that this thread is officially closed but, having set it going, we think we should report on the outcome.
After much denial on the part of Apple and quite a lot of hot air emanating from the Bowaters, we were just called by Apple France to inform us that Apple have decided to replace the faulty G5. We're still in shock. >From out point of view that closes the issue. We did come across a friend who has had the same problem with a Dell laptop. Thanks to everyone who offered advice or opinions, favourable or otherwise. We delayed our holiday a day and will be leaving tomorrow morning with our backpacks and our tent for a much more stress-free holiday than it otherwise would have been.
