D'you know, I honestly don't give a fvck about Apple/Android/Microsoft etc. I have a laptop running Windows 7, an Ipod classic, an Iphone 4S, the Mrs has a shuffle (fnar fnar), the son has a 3GS and a Nexus 7 tablet, the daughter has an Piod Touch. It really makes no oidds to me what version of ice cream sandwich or IOS I'm at, I just can't get my head round the disciples of an inanimate object. Jesus, its more silly than Christianity (no pun intended).

If we are talking about the prowess of off-the shelf PCs. I up the ante:
Our last HP Vectra (pentium III) was finally retired in summer last year, it was about 12 years old and all it had upgraded was a bigger hard drive and more RAM (3gig) and the CRT monitor was replaced with a LCD monitor. 12 years of faultless daily 8am to 6pm operation 6 days a week.
Not bad for a off the shelf PC. Which I bought for just £100 as it was 12 month old ex-public service (I bought 10 originally, kept 4, sold the rest for profit). Seems taxpayers paid for alot of new IT stock at the time which was given away for a pittance. Ok technically my taxes did pay for it...but your taxes paid for it too.
Its been replaced by a £260 Lenovo. Bit more expensive, but if it lasts another 12years its money well spent.

Jack, this is a very, very sad thread. I say that as the owner of an iPhone, an iPod, an iPod Touch and three Macs.
Sort yourself out.
