You guys are complaining about a ’1997′ G3 Laptop and a ’2000′ iBook? I have a ’2000′ iMac and it started slowing down recently, so I upgraded the RAM. You have a 10 and 7 year old system and it still works. What’s your problem again? Try saying that about any PC that go obsolete 3 months after you buy one.

Rocco, come to think of it, my kid’s 2000 special edition iBook has been having trackpad issues lately. And the video card on my other kid’s 1998 iMac has been causing intermittent blackouts after several hours of Oregon Trail playing.

I’m writing Consumer Union now – these Apple machines are crap…

Macs Reliable? Are you kidding? My 1997 Pismo G3 laptop has become increasingly slow in the last 6 months. And its startup time is lagging. (Just don’t talk to me about its intermittent bluetooth syncing).

There I said it.

If you quote someone’s review of your product, you’re relaying a fact, which is perfectly permissible. You can cite any information you want, whether the source is a review magazine or something else.

Some people and their idea of what “copyright” means. Copyright doesn’t even apply to words and phrases in the first place, but to long bodies of creative content. Sigh…

@Mirri & Antoine, I made a mistake in my comments.
My Mac Pro had the troubles.

So sorry to have upset you.

My iMac desktop crashes sometimes, but it is “Pretty Reliable.” But that isn’t what you want to hear from Consumer Reports, now is it?

Ken, you said you had a problem with your MacBook Pro, right?
And this article in CR said that Apple’s desktops were notably reliable. So one would question the relevancy of your comment.
