the thing is that i am only such a dedicated mac user because i have always been a mac user. my first mac was a hand-me-down from my sister when she left for uni in 1986 and i have never owned anything except macs since that time. i am on my fourth machine now, and i'd say that's pretty damn good innings for twenty years of sustained daily computer use and lots of international travel.
the thing is, right: this is the first and only time that i have ever encountered either faulty hardware or poor service on the part of apple.
they used to be the best, most reliable machines that money could buy. they'd last you five, six, seven years with nary a fault, you could plug the damn things straight into the wall in cuba, for chrisssake and they'd tick along just fine. nothing fazed them.
but obviously this is a case of the company resting on its laurels and turning out shoddy product. from the ipod to the 15" powerbooks to the new intel machines, these more recent generations appear to have retained all of the style but absolutely none of the substance of their predecessors.
i wouldn't mind so much, but i'll be fucked if i'm switching to pcs.
sure, they're cheaper, but they're disease-riddled, cheaply produced and suffer from so many regular faults that it makes one's life much more miserable.
look at my loss of sunny disposition since i had to start using them on a daily basis!
look at moth!
indisputable evidence.
okay, rant over. sorry!
