    Cool. I've had plenty of problems with Apple hardware over the years, but I've rarely bought PCs so I didn't really know how that compared. It's nice to know that, statistically speaking, I've had less trouble than I would have if I'd invested in the Windows platform.

    Well, don't assume my anecdotes, even many anecdotes, construe "statistics". The proper way to compare overall cost of ownership would be to conduct a truly scientific analysis, and I'm not aware of any.



    There should be, considering the broad economic effect PCs must have on business and productivity.

    In truth, both my 1200 and 1012 have performed flawlessly from the day I unpacked them, but not everyone feels the same.

    What this seems to mean is that an issue could not be resolved during a phonecall and required further action e.g. dropping into a store, arranging a repair, etc.

    Wow cheers people... So far this past month this is the first thread I've experienced where we've been able to actually have a meaningful discussion. Oops... Maybe I've jinxed it by saying this.
