Yes, this  gorgeous machine that's fits my needs exactly DID drop dead just now, after running well for weeks. I've read that Apple installs a "drop dead" chip in its machines, but I never thought they got the timing as precise as this. Well done, Apple.But now I'm out my 2000 bucks (PLUS) and I have a dead box sitting on my work desk. This is not good, not even for a laugh.I CANNOT contact the seller either. Maybe they all died from the virus, or SOME virus. PLEASE, good folks at Apple and Amazon,  help me!Thank y'all.
