Yep, right David
My work Dell , something would fail every 6 to 8 months .

Anyway seems that Apple itself is following the same road ? ? I mean judging buy the (Help) questions in this forum alone.

Apple used to be better - not so sure now.

Well when they were smaller, they had a near perfect resord; BUT growing pains have cut the QC some... still much better than most and they usually make anything reasonable "good". Many others don't ! mad

I've had issues with an iPhone - made it good ! Other than the 2 trips - I was pleased as punch. grin

For whatever it's worth, Dell printers are actually Lexmark printers with a Dell case. So if you're not happy with the Dell, don't ever replace it with a Lexmark.

Well, my (white, 17 ") iMac now shows 5 purple and white vertical lines and according to Apple it'll cost around $500 to replace the MB. It didn't quite last ten years. Bought it in early 2006.

One reason I didn't get an iMac as my last desktop--I'm afraid the A-I-O design produces this kind of problem.

The company that services our Lexmark printers (black only) says these Dells are not made by Lexmark and they do not service them. That may not be true but that is what is said. They may not want to service them. We have two Lexmark black lasers that have been there seven years now with nothing but routine maintenance performed on them.
