[QUOTE="generic chick, post: 1002790, member: 141885"] I've owned windows based computers for years. I knew I was going to suffer through crashes and failures and sluggish run times and random work refusals. I wasn't surprised when they happened, I rebooted, and tried again. If the problems were chronic, I swore at the blasted things, did an online search for the problem, unplugged the freaking tower and hauled it in to work for one of my more technical minded friends to tinker with. I've spent more in "upgrades" and "fixes" and gas for my car to and from the repair shop than I did for my MBP. Granted, I'm really new to all of this and have only had the MBP for a week, but I don't EXPECT this computer to fail every time I turn it on. If and when it happens, I will be surprised. I don't know anyone who has a mac, and I know plenty, who complain about them, whose faces don't light up when they talk about them. I don't know anyone who owns a pc who doesn't ***** about it, nigh on constantly. Mostly what I see here are people with a problem, and 10 people encouraging the problem owner that it'll be alright, or commiserating with them when it won't be. I've yet to read the typical kind of product slagging that you get about pc's. [/QUOTE]
