[net.micro.mac] A Burning Question

bill@utastro.UUCP (William H. Jefferys) (07/04/85)

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.  I have no connection with
Apple Computer, Corp.
