And we were doing such a fine job being civil, too.
Then you had to jump in.
1) Claiming devices are made with "stock parts" just shows you are perpetuating the myth that all logic boards are the same. Different manufacturers use different spec SM devices, and these lead DIRECTLY to differential outcomes. Some manufacturers use crappy dielectric capacitors, others use much better ones. Some PC manufacturers, Apple included, spec their boards out using better quality components. Others use crap. And it shows. I.e., all board logic is NOT the same.
2) It is just pure ignorance on your part to claim that iMacs have to be replaced when the screen gives out. It is no harder to replace the screen in an iMac than in a traditional monitor enclosure. In fact, if you wanted to, you could just buy a cheap display, take out the panel, and insert in into the iMac. It really is not that hard.
