I became a fanboy with a shiney new iMac (early 2006 Intel) (purchased in Jan 2006) and bragged on it to all my friends and read all the stuff on this forum about how great and reliable Apple hardware is - you know - APPLE IS A HARDWARE COMPANY!
Well, in a little over 4 1/2 years of owning my iMac (which software & OS I think IS great) I have replaced the following due to failure from ordinary wear:
1. Keyboard
2. Mouse
3. Optical Drive
4. Hard Drive
When I say ordinary wear - I mean it - no gaming or aggressive use - moving the desktop only after locking it down - treated it with kid gloves!
I'm a little disappointed - I'll never condone all the talk of Dell PC's being such cheap boxes ever again!
A Dell PC running OS10 would be indestructably better than any Made-in-China hardware Apple has to offer, believe me!
