Yeah, sorry about that. I just had to write a check to the state for every pack of cigs I had in inventory because they made the tax hike retroactive.. I may have been a little bit overheated at the time about this particular subject.
But back to the subject at hand. I still think Apple is taking advantage of the hysteria over second-hand smoke. I have literally handled thousands of computers over the years. I have yet to see anything that even hinted at smoke being a problem, even on fickle laptops. I HAVE however amassed a LOT of anecdotal data about pet hair. This one will take out the cooling pipe in a laptop in no time. It still isn't directly responsible for a failure. It just clogs up the system and causes overheating. As far as hazards inside the computer, I would be much more concerned about the lead and mercury and lord knows what else that is used in Malaysia, Taiwan, or China where the electronics are manufactured.
Shame on you Apple.
