- My FDHD went bad just before my _90 day_ warranty gave out (remember those?)
- and I was able to get Apple to replace it. Then my Quantum 40 Hard Drive

- gave blame to Sony and Quantum. The only other problem I had was because
- I did something you aren't supposed to: plug in and unplug ADB devices
- while the Mac is turned on. This can result in your ADB fuse blowing,
- as mine did. I just went to Radio Shack and spent $2 on a new fuse and
- all is well. So as far as _Apple_ quality goes, I'd say they're doing
- their job despite problems others (like myself) have caused.
