This is true, but on the flip flip side… I’ve administered several hundred Macs for a few years, and when they do break you’re at Apple’s mercy for turnaround.

This is true, but on the flip flip side… I’ve administered several hundred Macs for a few years, and when they do break you’re at Apple’s mercy for turnaround. The business I worked for had surplus, so not that big a deal, but it would be a bitch for my personal business and life. If all I need is parts then it’s a day max, or I can switch to whatever can run Fedora halfway decently.
