Apple’s declining software quality

I regularly get asked to fix someones windows PC, no such problem with people who have Macs. With OS X there are waves of releases(major versions) if I remember correctly - some introduce swaths of new code/features/replacement code. Some other are more of a speedup and bugfix versions. Maybe I'm wrong.

I go places on my Windows pc that I wouldn't dare take my Mac. I expect it to need repair.

My pc is my beater car, and it needs repair--regularly.

My Mac is the classic car in the garage, that only gets used for work, or safe places.

Speak for yourself. I used an old G4 PowerBook for grad school, and it travelled over 100,000 air miles, and into the various labs where I had to work, and also to far-off Asian countries for holiday. Plus, I didn't have to buy a developer kit: it came free with the machine.

I assumed that the travel referred to dangerous parts of the web.
