...and how much did the lawyers make ? This was just a huge con by the "legal profession" to extort money when no-one was impacted.

Had the 17" mbp, was an awesome machine, lasted for years and was upgradable - it's a shame we can't do that anymore.

I have only good comments for the Apple staff. I've shopped in Apple stores in various UK, UK and Australian cities and they've always been helpful. I usually know what I want but on my last visit whilst out of country on business I needed to replace a bricked iPad (motherboard failure) which was out of warranty (my kid's iPad) & they offered me a refurbed at a great price. I replaced a MacbookPro power supply which was 3 years old and had just died on the road (my spare was at home) and the sales person showed me some neat features on the iPadPro absolutely relevant to my business when I made an enquiry . No company is perfect, but I've never seen any signs of disrespect at a Genius Bar and if someone is being obnoxious I'd expect the management to back up the staff and kick the customer out.

I have an Extreme and an Express, they've worked flawless for years, easy to setup and apply firmware updates. If and when they fail, I won't be complaining that they're out of warranty.

Now...convert the perpetual flow of rain water into power and the problem goes away .....
