Yes, it's a massive source of frustration for me. The last time I had to
do a re-install was about two months ago. I was moving the office into
another room and the laptop froze for absolutely no reason. When I shut it
down (with the power switch) and then tried to boot there was something
wrong and the boot wouldn't finish. It was something like bad sectors
somewhere, but I don't remember exactly now.
I am the *only* person I know that has technology problems like this. In
the last two months I've had to return: a compact flash card (died
randomly within the first week of use); a cel phone (defective
software--an option was missing from one of the screens); a camera (died
two days after I bought it while on vacation because my other camera had
died)....and that's only since June!!
So next week I'm taking a week-long course in bookbinding and considering
giving up this whole technology thing. ;) (Just as an aside: I will never
go back to Windows.)
