The Logic Off Topic list

>Rubbish. Look where Apple sources most of its parts: 

Their CRT monitors were made by Sony and their printers were made by Canon. 
Although that information has become outdated, Apple always seems to use only 
top grade components. In the past years, they have used some PC materials to 
save costs, but they are often the first to incorporate various technologies 
(floppy disks, USB, firewire, writable DVDs, etc). 

If you think I'm wrong, why is it that so many PC's break down so fast? I was 
teaching in a brand new PC labs 2 years ago with 45 computers - and there 
were NEVER less than 5 computers broken at any time - even when they were 
brand new! On the other hand, you have to kill old macs with a stick. I have 
a 6 year old Mac 7500 which still works fine and never gave me any trouble - 
I'm probably going to donate it to a school or something. They just keep 
ticking.

And of course, its not really fair to compare a hobbyist "built it yourself 
from components" computer with one professionally made. Compare a high end PC 
with Windows, graphic cards, sound cards, usb/firewire/scsci/ethernet cards.

Then when you factor in the incompatibilities, the disease of use, the 
user-unfriendliness, and shoddy corner cutting of Windows, it makes the Mac 
the  real bargain.

Why are Mac users so loyal, if it weren't a great machine?
