- detourdog 2y agoThey were stable enough and the plug and play actually worked.

- Nevermark 2y agoEven so, the more Windows machines I had back in the day, the less real work I got done. Something was always not working, with no obvious pattern. Most problems took work to fix. I learned not to install and uninstall things. Even if I needed to. The more Mac’s I had, the more likely I ran into a problem as well. But it was usually just some glitch.

I second this. My mom switched to a iMac G4 and never needed me again, except that time she plugged the power strip into itself. It got to the point where I didn't want to tell people I worked with computers.
