I don’t understand all these PC crashes either. I’ve had 6 desktops & 4 laptops in my computing life.
6 of these are still working.
2 got obsolete (upgraded them).
1 laptop fried via lightening thru the phone line (thunderstorm & it was plugged in to the phone line - was using a modem back then).
And the last I shipped it to hotel (needed it for Graphics work) & a screw got loose & short circuited the motherboard.
I’ve never had crashes where all my data is gone.

I used Macs from the first release until 2001, so I consider myself very credible on this issue. I simply don't understand all the ridiculous propaganda about Macs being bulletproof and PCs being death traps of "bluescreens" and heartbreak. It simply is not the truth, like those silly Mac/PC ads which have no basis in reality. The latest one has Macs bragging about being able to restore themselves to a point before an install. HELLO! Ever hear of System Restore? Only been on PCs for like 6 years or more. Mac propaganda is quite silly. We are far more productive since moving from Macs to PCs, and we are not number crunchers, but creative media producers, from print to video to internet.
