I got an Apple iBook G3 Dual USB (I think some time in 2003). After a few months of use the motherboard died, so I had to take it in to the Apple Store, they took approximately 3 weeks to fix it and then we collected it from the store. Later, I was carrying it when I jumped over a box onto a wet floor, and not unsurprisingly it broke again - motherboard once more. Another 3 weeks to fix (didn't report the drop, no visible damage, repair under warranty). Then, it got hit by a football, motherboard broke again, this time 4 weeks to fix it but again under warranty. Then it ran strong until just before the end of the warranty when it wouldn't pick up the Airport card properly. I was at this time working tech support at another company, so I called them up and gave it my all, I managed to get a 2 week turnaround for the replacement of:
- Motherboard
- Screen
- Keyboard
- Touchpad
- Airport Antenna
- Airport Card
