I have noticed that, sometimes, several Macintoshes equipped in the same
manner (i.e, hardware, software, networks.....) often have slight differences.

For example, I have seen some screens flicker while others don't, some that
will print across the connecting network while another can't, some where the
disk drive will always properly read the disk, and some others that only read
the diskette properly sometimes. And all these Macintoshes have identical
set-ups.

So, it must be one of three things:

   (1) Certain hardware failures causing the problems.

   (2) This "weirdness" is inherent in all computers due to timing,
	hardware, software, circuits, etc.... and I just haven't noticed
	it before

   (3) I've lose my mind.


Does anyone know the correct answer?
