Yeah, I'm still pretty burned over my tibook's airport card flaw, which means that I get no connectivity unless I am literally a few feet from the AP. Whoever at Apple made that snafu probably shouldn't work there anymore. Apple denying for months that there wasn't any problem further added fuel to the fire. Now, I'm a lot more weary about buying new Apple hardware. I wait for someone else to do the beta testing. But on the other hand, they make great products that enable me to "just get things done". And that's extremely valuable, as I'm not always in the tinkering/fscking around mood. They make really great stuff, and they're the first company that's been able to TELL me what I'll like (ala Expose, which I thought was just mindless fluff at first, but I now use all the time, and I find it much better than virtual desktops). Anyhow, enough rambling. I guess my point is that most Mac users have been burned by Apple at some point, but we still all stick with em faithfully.
