"Lemon"

[Mark Swanson]

I can also attest to the longevity of Macs.  My original Mac Plus still 
works though I now use it as a door stop and a curiosity (the 10 meg 
quantum external however rarely worked reliably and died within two 
years).  My Mac II is now being used by a relative new to computers 
(uses it for word processing).  My Power Computing 180 still in use at 
my office though I had to replace the HD eight  years ago (but would 
have anyway because I outgrew the original drive).  My Wallstreet 
powerbook still works flawlessly (my only computer that can access 
floppies).  G4 desktop has chugged along for the last two years.  My Ti 
book, no problems, bless its little heart.  The only Macs I buy Apple 
service for are the portables due to moving them constantly, carrying 
them in car, planes, using them by the pool and due the the high costs 
of replacement parts and difficulty in self service.  Just my 2 cents.
