Inconvenience is only a factor when you have the money to begin with. Some of us don't have any other choice. I'm not going to buy a new computer on a credit card and pay 20% interest on it for 2 years or however long it would take to pay it off. Just not going to do that unless it's the direst of emergencies. I will have to make due with what I already have for awhile.
There are a lot of things in this world that cheese me off but few more than when someone tells me that something I can't afford is worth the extra money. I also realize that Macs crash a lot less than PCs, but I have seen Macs do complete meltdowns of the sort that can't be fixed. I have never had a PC do that. And the reason given is usually "well it was over three years old". Yeah, my laptop is from January 2005 and I have to get at least another year of use out of it. Something that works just fine until it self destructs three years later and costs $1500 is just not an option for me at this time. I wish I had made better financial decidions for the last 10 years so that this would be an option but alas I did not.
