Please, no more anecdotes about supposed horrible product quality.  Horror
stories like this lead to unfounded fear - e.g. one's tendency to overestimate
the danger involved in air travel based on media coverage of a few dramatic 
crashes.

Anecdotal evidence <> proof.  What *would* be interesting are statistics
gathered from a large, unbiased pool of users (i.e. corporate microsystems 
group).  Gathering statistics from comp.sys.mac readers who *choose to reply* 
isn't an unbiased sample.
