The other 95% are either inoperative or crash at least once a day. whistling.gif

My toaster works better than Windows does, it has never crashed and burned for more than 4 years now and cost only 9.98 on sale.

My Apple running Mac OS X has never crashed sinced I got it from the Glendale Galleria Apple store, that was 129.99 and I even got a kool Apple bag and an Apple T-shirt.

I consider myself lucky to own an Apple Computer, and fortunate to have Techsurvivors to come to if I do have any problems.

Mac OS X and Windows XP ( X Problems a week) I suppose. harhar.gif

"My toaster works better than windows does..."

*LMAO** I love it!!

So does mine and that thing is almost as old as I am... seriously, it was my paternal grandmother's who passed away in 1973 and I don't know how long she had it. I ended up with it and it still works so...  tongue.gif  clap.gif  Devilish2.gif  thumbup.gif

Thinking.gif Imagine if Microsoft made cars, you wouldn't be able to walk down the street with all the crashing going that would be going on.  I hope they stay in the computer business.
