- That +1 is to Formed. And I wouldn't equate Dell with Saturn (nor Apple with Porsche for that matter).afabrega

It's all your fault!! ;-) I had a PowerBook for 7 years never had a problem (and now my brother in law uses it), bought a G5 in 2004 and still works wonderfully, my other macs are just as good. Learn how to use/treat them and they will last forever.
BTW. I still have a PowerBook 5300c that still works. OS 8, baby!!
- all those are grand, on my fifth mac and for the first time it's a flimsy unreliable piece of shit.kingsteven

I've had a powerbook for 5 years and it still hums along. Did you get applecare? You would spend less money getting it fixed (none) than getting a pc.

I stayed out of this convo but honestly, unless you need microsoft to do something a mac can't do yet, os x is a sheer and utter joy to use over microsoft. It just works. I have never had a problem with apple hardware either, aside from the shitty mightymouse, I have owned powermacs, imacs, macbooks, all have been rock solid and completely reliable. OS X is like a dream compared to windows.

Some solutions to your problems:
1. Problem: 'A' key is stuck
1. Solution: You're using your left hand for COTD. I have the same problem. Using the right will avoid this problem. Wash your hands and stay at least a couple feet back from the keyboard. Sometimes it dries up and shit gets stuck.2. Problem: Disc Drive won't accept discs anymore.
2. Solution: Take current disc out. Then try putting another one in.3. Problem: Scroll wheel mouse doesn't work anymore.
3. Solution: See solution 1.
