I've used them for over 35 years. They are robust and solid machines with all kinds of internal safeguards. I've owned nearly 2 dozen Macs and the only physical trouble I ever had was a mechanical hard drive that went bad. My data was already backed up and the new drive was covered by the Apple Care policy I had at the time.

There's almost always a simple fix and I'm glad you found your solution albacore!
