Well, back from the Apple store and all is well with the world. Buying the extended warranty proved to be a fantastic choice. They had this sucker fixed in one day at no charge, replaced the power supply (the source of the overheating problem - I'm told the new one they replaced it with has the bug worked out), but to just be on the safe side, they replaced the logic board, the optical drive, and did a little hardware repair as well. In one day. Cost of extended three-year warranty? $169.00. Cost of repairs? $1264.69. Cost to me? $0.00 (not counting the initial $169.00).
Gotta love my Mac. After a week-and-a-half away, it's sooo good to be back. And I was able to take advantage of my time offline to travel beneath the waves for a "diplomatic" meeting! Awesome sushi!

Honestly, I've never found Macs easy to use. I struggle whenever I find myself having to operate one. This is probably just because the first computer I regularly used was a PC, but I've always found the Windows interface to be more intuitive (ie, the max/min/undock button triplet on each window, right clicking an object to do things other than opening it, etc).
I also love my computer's customizability. If I want to upgrade to 1024mb of RAM I can get two 256 cards off eBay for $70. My computer stopped running about a year ago--I took the cover off and immediately found the fan on my video card had siezed and fried it. New one goes in, plug and play, its like a whole new machine.
