- I think there's a trend here. People who treat their computers like sh_t
- seem to be having no problems while people who baby their computers are
- getting the lemons. Gee.
-
- But seriously, I don't think we should be complaining about Apple quality
- that much. I know many people with IBM compats who have ton 'o problems with
- their computers. My uncle, who is a network installer, says he sees things
- crashing all the time, randomly and through misuse. Two things I've noticed
- is that computers can be very temperamental, and that the quality of a
- computer model varies widely over individual computers. Some people just have
- good luck, that's all.
- I do agree that Apple overcharges, but that's a whole different story that
- we'll leave for another rainy night . . . .
