sigh.... yeah. I don't know any electronics that survive that, no matter what you replace. I've had this problem with cell phones. I've learned to just get another one. "Repairing" is just a lesson in frustration.

Some people have a glorious trouble free experience with Apple. I haven't.

Well, that's unfortunate. The issues you cited are definitely real, and maybe it's just luck that I, nor any other Mac users that I regularly associate with, have been caught up in those. Oh, and I'm surprised that you're running Safari. Everyone I know runs the 'Fox.
