My brand loyalties are quite different, too - I was merely using  
examples here. I didn't think the analogy was that bad, though - or  
is it a 'terrible car' analogy that you refer to? ;->

I still believe that the whole issue of computer reliability is far  
too complex to do justice in such an ad hoc fashion, though. Too many  
variables, too many options, both environmental and operational.

On the other hand, Stewart has asked a question, albeit rather vague,  
which might prompt some interesting data to surface.

However, I suspect that anecdotal evidence will far outweigh anything  
else, including reliability surveys (which are published from time to  
time, and appear to be of little interest to consumers).
