Hardware is just binary. Either it works or it doesn't, and for some reason, it often decides to go from one state to the other without any good explanation. We have a Dell Laptop at work, in every way identical to the one I usually use, bought at the same time, with a sequential asset tag to mine, and it goes into the shop about once a month... 2 mainboards, 2 video cards, to HDDs and no less than three case fans. Oh yeah, and it's owner doesn't abuse it the way I do to mine. Mine, however, in three years, has been in the shop once, because I broke the button off the PCMCIA slot.
