Really Chris? Then why was I very busy making good money doing
Apple/Mac support at Electric Boat up here? ;)
Sorry, that was a poorly worded direct comparison to the PC WinTel world.
Having done Mac and PC hardware repair for the last don't know how long,
I can tell you that PCs break down 10x more often than a Mac. Hardware
wise that is. Software wise, well, that isn't fair... Windows just isn't
up to the task of being compared to anything.
Alas, I forgot what list I was on, and many (if not most) of the
computers applicable to this list would blow Apple stuff out of the water
in terms of reliability in hardware AND software.
- Hmmm, actually, compared to x86/Win stuff, Apple is generally
better, so your comment isn't that far off.
And Chris, couldn't you tell I' was breaking your stones? C'mon,
you've seen my basement... :)
