Sheesh – I can’t help but wonder if this drip-by-drip expansion is a good thing, or a bad thing?

That it keeps a headline something like “All New-Style iBooks Ever Made Are Recalled” out of the press, is probably a good thing – but I cannot but help wonder if that’s the point.

Do you have onesuch afflicted? Probably worth giving them a call…

Apple expands iBook logic board repair program

June 21, 2004 – 12:04 EDT Apple updated its iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program to include iBook models manufactured between May 2001 and October 2003. The program, which was launched in January, covers repair or replacement of the logic board in iBook models that are experiencing specific component failures. The program originally included iBooks manufactured between May 2002 and April 2003. In April, it was expanded to include iBooks made between May 2002 and October 2003.

Some friends have commented to me on their unwillingness to get Apple hardware – mostly iBooks, seeing as most of my friends are cost-conscious – while this is going down; to me that’s a understandable pity, as from me perspective the joy is OSX, or as it is otherwise known to me: Unix with a compiler, X, the free tools I want, and yet somehow capable of editing videos and doing all the multimedia stuff that the web provides nowadays, without kernel recompiles.
