My 24" iMac which has been a fantastic workhorse for my imaging over the past 3 years died today!
Wouldn't boot up so I took it into the Apple tech this morning - got a call in the afternoon to tell me that the problem was a dodgy logic board.
Replacement cost $1074!!!
Sorry old son but you're 'Not For Resus' I thought...Damn!!!!!!!
So now I've got a very expensive light box as the thing hangs on an evenly illuminated grey screen! So not all bad then!!
Moral: If you're going to buy a Mac, go for the Apple Care extended warranty!!!
