My old school is finally replacing their G4 eMacs with the new iMacs. They were apprehensive given the amount of damage the old computers sustained from pens through the speakers, and you know what kids and LCD panels are like... expensive.

The first comp I saw was...well it was WAY back in 80s...but the first one I ever used a Mac. My dad got it. We loved it. It worked well for several years and then we got the iMac. That worked about...I want to say 6 years. By the end it just got crappy. Then we had a Dell. Two weeks after we got it the HD crashed and burned, then it would turn off at will, doing whatever the hell it wanted. In the span of 6 years it has gone through four hard drives. We still have that one...and it works..ok. But we have had to reinstall windows once and get all the info back.
I must admit when I first heard of PC I was SO against it because all that I ever knew was Mac. Then once I got to use them in HS I was happy with them and really wanted one. I got a dell laptop for my birthday that lasted me about 4 years before crashing and burning. The oddest thing about this comp was that it never liked to sleep, and when it did, it never woke up. Then I had another Dell...and that made odd sounds. I tried to turn it on once and it made this sound that was a cross between a duck and 1930s mobster. Turns out that computer could not connect to drive and the sound was when it tried to, and failed. That comp lasted me along time..and then...it crashed and burned so now I have the white Macbook. Works like a dream.

I keep seeing this recurring problem in your computer history called "Dell".

Yea..they suck ass. The reason they are so cheap is because they work like crap and NOTHING works right. But at the time I got my first Dell, Consumer Reports hailed as a god among abacuses. Plus, it was a good price.

I have a temporary computer now, but I miss mine already. Trying to make up some money to go buy myself a new laptop.
