With the reports about Macs going up in flames (almost :-), I would like to see if there is enough information out there to get a profile on the Macs that have done this. One went up in our department yesterday, and when it was taken in for repairs, there was another in the shop. Both had been purchased within the month. Therefore, the following questionnaire. Please mail me a copy on any machine you can get the information on. I will summarize the results in a few weeks. All responses will be kept in confidence.
