My old Mac Classic and Performa 5400 have worked solidly for many long years and are still doing so although slower that the latest breed. My newer G5 is rock-solid and has not given me any problems. It does look like the iMacs of old were not so reliable, although I do not know about the latest or current models. They seemed to be prone to mother-board failures or such like. I still think that the Macs are much better built and designed than those coming from the 'dark side'. From personal experience and seeing some of my relatives' problems with their PCs, I cannot see myself buying of of those beasties instead of a Mac. Philippe
