A nice apple story

You're a computer hobbyist. I am not. I earn my living as a writer with
my apple computers. I expect them to work and allow me to use my word
processors, printers, web clients, email clients, fax, whatever, without
any serious glitches. If my desktop apple craps out on me (as it did the
other day when the hard drive failed), I expect to be able to turn on my
backup macbook pro and continue where I left off. I can do this because
I back up work files fairly continuously, even as I work on them.
I have no reason to futz around with obscure hardware. If I want to do
that, I'll take apart and clean a fishing reel.
Fax? In 2011???
The building industry still runs on Fax machines
I have a couple of long-time clients who prefer to use faxes. I don't
have a problem with receiving or sending them. I also prefer to read
books as books, not as electronic files on a reader.
