I'm constantly amused by the resistance some folks have to a troublefree computer experience.

My Dell, which I only use to play games and run PET, finally gave up completely this week. Got it new about 4 years ago and had many periods of stability, punctuated by corruption, and unreliability. I had it behind a router, but eventually took it off the 'net. I could never do actual work on a Windows machine.
And we are constantly amused by the guys who keep trying to get others to leave the Windows platform for an OS that has 1% the programs of the Windoz OS!

I have used a Dell laptop on the road for over 10 years with no hassles, connected to the internet in wonderful places like Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Kabul, Baghdad, Riyadh along with garden spots like Bogota or Johannesburg and so on. Absolutely NO hassles what so ever.

Guess I got a duff computer that works and all the rest of the guys with a DOS/Windows machine that has problems is the norm?

A well setup computer, using ANY OS will usually work fine, while one that is not properly setup will give problems. How about that and ending the bias that you guys have against anything other than Mac?
