    Mine's less than 2 years old and it still crashes. (Can you say "V-I-S-T-A?)

    I just love it when I'm at the end of typing a long post and that blue screen appears. Say goodbye to my motivation for the next hour or so.

    Sounds like it a good thing I'm using an older computer that doesn't have VISTA. It still locks up though.

    Y'mean computers aren't supposed to do that?
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Bought a bunch of Dell laptops for work recently. Had to wheel, deal and threaten to get XP installed. The Vista is current default. Told him he would have to pay me to take with Vista. Besides, in some government applications (we interface with them) Vista is prohibited since it is so riddled with problems. In my experience, 2 years is about the max for trouble free usage, after that is a crap shoot.
