I am far from technically challenged, but I don't want my computer to be a hobby. I just want it to work. Too many of of the techno-geeks around here think the other 95% us enjoy tinkering with computers. Been there done that and I'd rather spend that time doing other things. I have enough hobbies, I don't want messing with my computer to be one of them. As long as Apple keeps putting out products that work with no hassle, I'll be a loyal customer. Especially when those products can be integrated seamlessly.

I'll be making the jump from satellite to Apple TV probably within 5 months, and replacing my HP with an iMac within a year. An HP that has gone in for service 4 times, had to be system restored 5 times within the past 5 years.

“I am far from technically challenged”

“HP that has gone in for service 4 times, had to be system restored 5 times within the past 5 years.”

I would argue, that anyone who buys a pre-packaged HP, or any HP for that matter, would be in the technically challenged category.

I would also argue that anyone who takes their computer in for service would fall into the same boat. You may disagree, and I may be wrong, there are exceptions to every rule, but those two comments, either singularly or combined would lead me to believe that one is very technically challenged.

My son and I build computers that have never had to be “restored” nor have they ever “gone in for service”. Did they change the oil and install new cross-over pipes?
I’ll let your post speak for itself.
