Big C

This is entirely understandable given that product life ownership of Mac is substantially longer than other PC products. People generally do not feel the need to change as the products are very robust, very reliable and the OS very useable. Small but simple point. My MBP is now almost 4 years old, I use it 4-5 hours a day almost 7 days a week. It shows near zero signs of wear, not even a single slightly faded keyboard letter. I have in the past had VAIO's, Tosh etc and not one last anywhere near so well. Contrast this with most if not all other PC solutions from other vendors. I am not bashing them, just making the point. A aluminium solid build vs in most cases plastic and more plastic from PC vendors. So, whilst units are steady this is more of a factor of good product just work and last so lets take things into context. It not a port thing its a fact of engineering for long term use.

I guess the real fool in this is the no win no fee lawyer who is probably behind this, knowing there is a good chance of a small (by Apples standards) early settlement. Apple should ask the courts for a funded security to be paid into court by the plaintiff, a small $2M should do it!
