I treat all my Macs (work and personal) with great care - and I've used and owned a few since 1994, use them everyday, all day, and am a real Mac advocate. The pismo, in terms of longevity, was the worst machine of the lot.
I think to some degree it's the luck of the draw. Mine's (touch wood) still going fine, and I'd probably regard it as the best Mac purchase I've ever made, despite the dodginess of the yo-yo power adaptor.
