I don't with most things, but I do with many of my Apple purchases.
Back when 21" CRTs were hugely expensive, for some reason my husband
and I went out on a limb and bought one. Apple. Refurbished. Well
into its extended warranty, it just inexplicably died.

Yes. While I was in France, my Wall Street LCD screen started going
intermittent, but it hadn't progressed to the point that it was
unusable. I had moved to France
I've made a claim in the UK when the hard disk on my G5 iMac packed
up about a month before the end of the AppleCare warranty period. It
was fixed fairly promptly (just over a week) by an authorised
repairer, not Apple itself. The repairer complained that they were

I don't purchase AppleCare for my own Macs nor for the ones at the
company I am IT Manager of. We use laptops almost exclusively from
both Apple and Dell.
My experience is that Macs are extremely reliable and the cost isn't

Hey, Chipp,
You'll be glad you did. You'll find Applecare to be the best
'warranty' in the business. They hustle and get your machine back
before you remember you sent it. I've had two day round trip on some
motherboard issues.

OK, back from the 'Geniuses' at Apple-- who claim this is an unusual
problem...
But, turns out my 1 yr warranty expires on Feb 2, so they'll send it in and
"hopefully" it will get fixed and sent back. And, coincidently, they talked
me into purchasing Applecare. Seeing how I'm so close to Feb 2 and

It could also be a bad battery. What is weird is that it can happen
even while the computer is plugged in to power.
It would also explain why it started recently.

Over the last month, the same randomly shutdowns accured even with
the last firmeware update installed on my MacBook Pro 2 Ghz (Tiger

The problem occurs when the temp goes over 75 ° C when the normal
