[TR] Absolutely non-Triumph - but HELP!

[John Macartney]

Hi, Bob

I'd agree that Apple products have 'a degree of reliability' over and above
Windoze equivalents. Trouble is (for me at least, in "goode olde we'll
financyialle rippe-youe-offe Englande" that to invest in an Apple product is
entirely cost-prohibitive. I'm currently in the process of buying a new laptop
and have studied many different versions currently on sale here. Sadly, an
Apple of the type I'd like will cost me more than 2.5 times the cost of a
Sony, Tosh or Fujitsu - and this seems rather a waste of valued pension
reserves for essentially private and non-commercial use?
There used to be a saying over here (in the commercial and industrial
organisations this country once had before they all migrated to China) that
"no-one got fired for buying 'Big Blue'" - a reference I believe to IBM and
clones of that ilk? But maybe I've just been lucky this far (?) as I've found
the offerings of Mr. William Gates' somewhat mind-boggling worldwide emporium
to have actually proved to be entirely dependable for me and therefore I see
little point in making the change. And anyway, I'm an 'oldish' dog who isn't
too willing to learn (simple) new tricks :)

To keep within a Triumph topic, why bother to learn how to set up Strombergs
when you already know how to get a Lucas petrol injection system (almost)
working as it should?

Cheers, Jonmac
