You are so right, PCs are not only variable they are also very temperamental. In the past, I have worked on two PCs, both from the same manufacturer and the same model, in fact they had consecutive serial numbers so they both came of the production line at the same time. Yet when trying to enhance them with the same make and model of network card, operating system and application software one of the two PCs decided not to work in the same way as its brethren.

I have worked with PCs over a number of years and I do know that a stable PCs can be pushed into instability by the smallest of things, such as an applet, the addition of a piece of hardware or even the uninstalling of some unused software.

That is why I am loathed to change something I know works for something that may or may not bestow any benefits, it’s just too risky.

PS. Why don’t I buy a mac instead? I guess I like the fact that I can customise my PC to suit my needs, providing I don’t go too much beyond that, then I am OK.
