Without intending to make this an overlong thread, my first Mac was an LCII (40MB HD, 2MB RAM, I think?). I've had half a dozen different models since then with no problems.
In the last 5 years I have purchased (on behalf of the school) in excess of 30 Macs (inc laptops) and only 2 have had problems; both were replaced immediately as they wouldn't start up. I've not had the same percentage of reliability with PCs I've bought over the last 20 years (3 with a 33.33% reliability rate!!!)

This year alone, I bought and iMac and a MBP. Apart from one Mac G3 I bought in 1998, I never had any problems with Apple hardware (or PC hardware in general). The same is true for my iPod. The aforementioned Mac had the HD replaced as it was from a faulty Seagate (or other) batch.
