Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

So now would not be the time to mention that my Powerbook has to go in for the second time in a year?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Of the seven Macs I've purchased for my workplace since 1988, four have needed major servicing within three years of purchase. OTOH, my old Powerbook 500C still runs fine, according to the friend I gave it to six years ago.

I'm running on a 7600/132 upgraded to G3/300.

It has never needed major servicing.

5300c in for repair twice. Kanga G3 in for repair once. TiBook in for repair twice. My desktops...many many of them...have never needed a repair.
