I bought an Apple II in 1980. Since then I've had several Macs and several PCs. Currently, I have an HP that I bought 3 years ago and a Dell laptop that is 2 years old. At work, I have a Dell that is 6 months old and I manage 20 Dell servers. Most of them running Windows Server 2000 or 2003. 3 are running Linux.
On the Windows servers, I spend a lot of time checking logs and reacting to any potential problems. I don't have to do as much on the Linux boxes.
On my home computers and any work computers I have had over the years, I have never had a virus, hard disk failure or any other major problem. Instead, I find myself raplacing them about every 3 to 5 years for other reasons.
