Sassan, if someone told you to forget about your Mercedes because Lexus was better value, you probably wouldn't want to know? I know I had a series 4 VW Golf, which is one of the most popular cars in its class, and it was one of the most unreliable and unpleasant to drive cars I have ever had. Replacement Corolla is nearest thing to the pre GM Saabs that I can find, fine to drive all day no mechanical problems. Same with computers, some folks, in fact most on this forum have PCs and are probably happy and in control. But my heart sinks whenever I have to do anything on one (used to be the same in offices) as in MOST cases, it is not properly set up and the user has little idea how to perform the simplest operations. You don't come across mac users like that, unless you count yourself.
