In July we bought a Toshiba Satellite which hangs at random while any USB device is attached to it. We've wiped the disk and reinstalled from the CD-ROM; we sent it back to Toshiba where they upgraded the BIOS at the factory, but still no luck, and Toshiba has no clue what to do next. Since it only happens at random, several times a day, it's hard to reproduce. On top of that, after installing XP SP2 we now get occasional BSD's, something we didn't have before. This is my first experience with Toshiba, and it certainly gives me the impression it's a piece of $#!+. On the other hand, as a software engineer who writes C++ for Win32, I could tell you horror stories about what's inside the Windows OS. Frankly I'm amazed it works at all! If I had it to do all over again I would get an Apple notebook. Wintel is just too flakey and unreliable.
