I prefer to associate the use of real computers with KNOWLEDGE,

shows what incompetent loonies the publishers of biz
rags like the Economist apparently are, to actually believe that all
computers crash frequently and are unreliable like Windoze PeeCees.
Talk about incompetent journalism!
The Economist stands head and shoulders above most US media
in terms of the depth of thinking in most of its articles.
Perhaps you could browse their web site to see what I'm

Windows PC, the mostly commonly used type of personal computer
on the planet, at least among those of us who don't live
in their parent's basement.
