Eh? You make my point!
Sorry, I digressed a little.... but I do dislike that feature of the ThinkPads.
six of them over 20 years and never a fault; daughter's two Macs,
We could do this sort of tit for tat arguing all day....
I dread to think how many macs I've owned over the last 20 years ... only fault has been a dead hard drive on a G3 iBook, which then made a full recovery I'm pleased to report and was only stopped being used about a year and a half a go by it's then owner (not stopped due to failure I might add !)
I should point out that I'm not biased and have owned and currently own a lot of "PC" kit .... some of which, as you say has proven to be reliable .... but I've also seen my fair share of DoA and other issues !
