That's what I'm worried about.

When a machine has a major problem like this, it is often impossible to 
repair, especially a PC, and an Apple is a PC now.

I really can't afford to go through repair cycles, no matter how times they 
are willing to do it.  I need it fixed permanently.

I go to see them tomorrow at 1530, so I'll post their solution here.

Indications are that Apple is having trouble with the Mac Pro (at least a few 
of them anyway) and the new iMac machines.

However, I thnk it is rare enough that if I get another machine, it will be 
trouble free.

For $2500, it better be... :)
