I'm leaving this comment from a computer that might crash on me sometime today. Or could decide to reboot to install its updates when I'm looking somewhere else. I'm leaving this comment on a site which technically could have existed 10 years ago.
Wireless is working right now, that's great. It might stop working sometime today. Things like that tend to happen, on every network more complicated than "I'm sitting two meters away from my home router".
That might have been unimaginable 20 years ago, but somehow, things are about as unreliable as they were 10 years ago.
(I have to admit, optical mice and huge screens are nice, though. But expensive hardware with a single precise objective tends to be reliable, compared to software).

Most people still used OS 9. 3) Linux was not quite ready for heavy enterprise use or home use, had worse memory management, filesystem, window managers, desktop environments, drivers and userland. So, "about as unreliable"? I beg to differ...
