Well...I've got my G4 PowerBook Pro, bought new from Apple Store in June of 2003, with no crashes. Been through OS 9.x and every version of MacOS X beginning with the Public Beta through 10.5.8. The only repairs have been replacement case parts, which I installed myself out of warranty.

Note I'm still using it and will do so until I can afford the MacBook Pro or iMac I want.

Sux that the current JB software is Intel-only; I'm gonna have to fire up my wife's Dull ^H^H^H^H Dell laptop.

I just hope I can find some one that wants this worthless thing on craigslist.

Odd . . . I worried and fretted so about no flash and after a few weeks of daily use, I have not seen a site I cannot access. Also, no crashes.

sorry you are so unhappy.

Steve I have never had a hardware crash since I purchased the iPad last August. Software crashes that are due to corrupt apps would be the only issue so I reinstall them if they continue to cause problems i delete them permanently . Do a complete restore on your iPad or take it to an Apple store as your problem is not normal.

Steve you must love on line games or do stuff that needs flash most of us do not I have not had one site that has caused me any issue and If I come across a site that requires flash I move on as I can always find an alternative if not I use the MacBook which is rare considering it has been now 4 months since I have had a need to use my laptop. The bottom line is either live with it or move on it's that simple go buy alternative products and then live with problems that that platform has as there is no perfect world regardless what computer / mobile device you purchase.

As for Macs going into service all the time. Please tell that to my clients whom number some 400 sites all up more than 2000 computers installed all Macs.....Plus a few PC' s for accounting. Several sites have between 30 - 60 Macs, We may get less than about 1% failure rate and that would be high. All sites have multiple backup and run the latest Apple OS 10 with the exception of the largest site... See below.

On the biggest site in fact which is an architect firm they had only had 5 computers that required service in 3 years....2 iMacs with video card issues the rest were hard drive replacements under warranty and just to make you happy the 60 Macs had windows XP installed. Why did they buy Macs instead of PC's .....reliability and the software they used required Windows XP
Most issues are DVD drives or hard drive, keyboards and mice, In all customer satisfaction is the highest in the industry.
