Talking about busted PCs, my old Beige G3 had its HDD die three months after my Apple Care warranty died, six months after that, my powersupply died. I had to buy a replacement part on eBay. A year after my computer just stopped working. I bought a new motherboard hoping that would do the trick. I swapped everything on the old board and put it on the new board. Everything booted up fine. Since my computing needs became increasingly mobile, I was seriously considering a Dell or Sony. I ended up with a Pismo because my old 6100 was very dependable.
Honestly, there are times where I've considered going Win because my computer can't play the latest games and run other stuff like photoshop. Fortunately for Apple, I don't play video games much and my Pismo is still running strong. BTW-I'd be using Windows XP if I had a Windows based computer. My brother's box has been running if flawlessly.
john, how often do you use the power of UNIX and its super flexible CLI?

You know, this really begs the question; if you are such a PC fan, what are you doing with a Mac in the first place? Maybe you should sell that Wallstreet to someone who would appreciate it, and buy yourself one of those "quality" Dell laptops. Then you can run your beloved Windows ME to your hearts content.
