Most definately. Apple couldn't even keep their own apps running through OS
upgrades.

This was the most frustrating part of the experience we had with Apple. No
real solutions ever.. just reinstall everything and .. repair permissions
and.. other crap but never real answers as to why things constantly broke.
I don't think they ever knew.
Here's the REAL story.. if Apple makes the hardware AND Apple makes the
software AND Apple makes the OS, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for a SINGLE
crash, bug or other nightmare. Anything less than perfect performance 24/7
is a complete ripoff.
When you buy a Microwave or a Tivo or any other sytem built under the
complete control of one company.. you don't expect it to fail. Well.. I
don't care how complex it is.. Apple fails miserably. And now they expect
you to just get in line and buy their Intel computers..
Also.. never , ever, take the advice of salesmen. DO your homework like you
are now.
