The 'numbers' are amazing !

With portables a minimum of 15% of units fail within the first year... 22% in the first 4 years.

Desktops average 5% failure rate within first year and 12% in the first 4 years...

Mainboards and HDDs are the most common components to fail.

If we were discussing automobiles or even washing machines with failure rates such as these there would be people rioting in the streets !!!

You can learn some surprising things at Gartner
Takes a while to learn their site but it's worth the effort.

btw... You're hardly alone... Three weeks ago a musician friend of mine took a big virus hit... Managed to clean and save his C: drive using an external HDD case and another computer for cleaning... BUT, five years of virtual instrument collections and loops and mix sequences were lost from his internal auxiliary HDD - Truly zapped ! This is a guy with two external drives as well - so - he thought he was covered ! Now he knows.........
