Applecare is doubleplusgood.  Next day on-site repair when this 'ere
ibook got a no-worky ESC key (keyboard assembly had come loose, ESC
was partially jammed under the surrounding case).  The technician was
even clueful enough to ask if I was a vi user seeing that it bothered

Oh god that would be a hard question for me to answer.  What I like most
about my Cube is that it is tiny and silent.  It's more than fast enough
for me.
