I wouldn't say that. Apple hardware is passable for "consumer"
stuff, sure, but it's not good. Better than most peesee clone
manufacturers? Sure, but again, that doesn't make it good.

You're welcome to buy an all-in-one box with a plastic bubble
for a case if you like, but I'm not going to. :)

I will also grant that Apple's hardware used to be better when
compared to peesee stuff than it is now (possibly due to Apple's
cutting costs)...

I've seen better. I have better. (I also have a couple of
Macintosh's, a IIGS, etc... which still work fine, to be
fair)

VMS? :) Even a poorly configured Unix -- until OS X.
MacOS had no built-in security at that point. (I hope you
won't seriously suggest that "At Ease" counts... :)

Heh.
