I use PC and Mac since they both exist. Both systems are still too stupid as they do not sufficiently recognize my voice and accent. But at least they run, and run, and run. The only data loss I ever had was my fault, in 1997, with a PowerPC because I had used several hard disks with different drivers and then runned Norton disc doctor over it. In all the years, I never had to reformat any computer except this case. One of my 5 computers is a Win xp laptop from 2002 that is often used by my kids (games, dvd's, internet) and it just runs and runs. Maybe it has to do with my care, I don't know.
