Well, I won't get too attached to it, then.
It's an impressive package, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there
are quality problems. Apple Computer Co. always impressed me as being
entirely too willing to compromise the quality of MY hardware/software, and
the security of my data, in favor of their profits. Did they ever come up
with a remedy for the problems? Is there a recall?

product: the 1710AV, or the PowerBook 5300. Check out some of the
you-had-to-be-there rants about this monitor in Google Groups
