Since I work in the computer service industry, I have
formulated a theory that there are some people who
just shouldn't be allowed to have computers!
Perhaps your experience is just the computer gods
telling you that same thing? LOL!
I'd like to know what you are doing to the computers
to cause them to break so frequently? I guess with a
name like Mad Dog it could be just about anything,
right?
Seriously though, who is paying the $1900 for each
replacement board and why? The whole machine isn't
worth that much, is it? Why didn't you take it back
after the first failure, or throw it away after the
second one?
