My immediate rejection of PC computers began the day I graduated from college. Going to McDaniel and paying your own way isn't that easy. When you're writing papers on laptops and desktops that refuse to do what you want them to do makes it even worse. I decided that if I was going to have a computer, it should at least work. So I saved up my hard earned money and bought a MacBook, which is still alive today, and still awesome. I guard it with my life.
Now that I work with an IT company, I also have a PC. Now it does a lot of the things that I prized about my MacBook, but the most important thing that I rejected PCs for it now does close to effortlessly.
It works.
Everybody is going to run into a machine that doesn't always work, and there are applications that make you angry when they do funky things. But THIS is the time when you can buy a computer and it will just keep on working!
I hope we can continue to have this experience more often in the future, hopefully so much that we will never need to throw a computer out the window again. Your life should not revolve around updates, it should be meaningful. Your computer does not own you, you should own it.
Have a great weekend.
P.S. - Got a brand new MacBook Pro recently. Works like a charm. Better than my PC, but don't tell my boss.
