I've had macs for my main machines since ... 1994? And apart from an optical drive dying in my titanium powerbook 4 years ago, I've never had a single hardware failure. I've owned:
Performa 5300cd
Peforma 6400
333mhz G3 iMac
800hz G4 iMac
1.25ghz G4 iMac
800mhz G4 Powerbook
1.33ghz DP G4 Quicksilver (heavily modded)
1.25ghz 12" Powerbook
and a 2.33ghz 24" iMac with 7600GT.
And yet... I've had one minor hardware failure. So what I don't get, PC Zealots, is if Apple generally uses the same hardware as a PC, why is it that I never have to reinstall, and don't have problems? Why have my harddrives never lost sectors? Why have I not had to spend hours troubleshooting?
This is a serious question. I am not trying to start a flamewar, but everytime this topic gets mentioned, PC users say that Apple uses the same hardware and have just as many problems... but I don't see how that's true.
