I disagree... they are junk, the Toyota will go much farther with or without regular maintenance. > > PC's and Macs become obsolete because of advances in technology and software > requirements, not because people throw them away. I disagree again, peecees are thrown away because they die at an alarming rate and the parts of the most common computers are the cheapest low-bid parts they can find. It has nothing to do with technology. Macs don't die, except for CRT iMacs of course....... Macs do become outdated but not obsolete. Peecees don't last long enough to become outdated like Macs do. > > > > > Actually, NBC only reported "notebook computers" and didn't mention > > iBooks or Apple at all. > > > > Later..................Howard > > > > >CNN's site said the same thing....

You are right, but I never said anything about an iBook, I was referring to Apple's name, not the name of the book. And many more people know the name iBook, rather than another like Thinkpad. > > Just defending the American public and fighting "hate". > Just defending my right to call it as it is.
