I woke up this morning with a 10AM appointment to see the Mac support folks (aka Genius Bar) about my laptop. It crashed a dozen times yesterday, I'd fix it, it'd crash again. Bad stuff. So when I woke this morning, I checked that it had backed up at 7AM, then shut it down and took it in.
At the store, the computer completely refused to boot at all. The guy ran it through some diagnostics and determined that both the hard drive and logic board were failing. So they packed off the ol' Lappy to the service center, to have those parts pulled and swapped.
So at 10:30AM I was without a computer. This wouldn't be a big deal if it were just a personal machine, but my employer has never gotten around to issuing me a work computer and so I was doing that on my Mac via a Parallels machine.
Nice, eh?
Well, I'll be on Elise's for a few days while I wait for work to get me something. Hopefully I'll hear tomorrow.

Well, I guess that Macs aren't much better than PCs. Computers are computers -- they fail!
On your second point, I agree -- all hardware will eventually wear out and fail. And I'm glad I bought the 3-year warranty with that in mind.
On the first point, I totally disagree. Macs ARE much better than PCs!
