I hear that, one of my hard drives died today, out of the blue, for no reason at all. It had been working fine since I got it. I cannot wait until my PB gets here Wednesday.

What kind of a post is this? Why are you asking the nameless internet masses whether or not you should fix a PC - you haven't even provided specs or information on the nature of the problem.

More pointless PC bashing.

I can't wait until my 17" Powerbook turns up so that ever single time I have a problem with it I can come here and post about how unreliable and crap Mac's are...

No thanks, I find it too amusing to stay here and read your asinine posts

Yea, I can't even count how many times my pc has crashed before I finally moved over to Mac.

Umm... I can't wait to see the look on your face the first time your Mac's hard drive suffers a hardware failure. Windows doesn't cause hard drive (hardware) failures any more than Mac hardware or Linux software fixes them.

Best quote from my gf when her Pismo's hard disk failed: "Of course I haven't been keeping backups, this is a Mac, it's not supposed to crash!"

(Luckily I got the drive up and running one last time (by the old freezer trick) to get her data off it!)

Thank GOD someone sees this.

People, newsflash: Macs aren't crashproof.

What, he's a troll because he's a wee bit logical and doesn't worship Macs as crashproof, perfect machines? My TiBook 1Ghz has been very, very stable, but no more so than my hand-built WinXP Pro box. If you can't accept that a modern OS on good hardware can be as stable and nice-to-use as another, then you're in denial. I've noticed the whole "PCs crash, Macs rule" mindset for a number of months, and it's just plain silly. Under your logic, if a Mac user has a technical issue, he should immediately begin wishing for a Windows machine.
