N of 1 here...but I've had mine since early August 2003. Works well for me so far. *knock wood*

All is well that ends in pizza.
I saw a TV ad saying that you can go to tivo.com, buy a $200 Tivo, and get a $100 mail in rebate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had mine about two years. It was iffy out of the box, and I had it replaced after about three weeks.

That Tivo deal is fucking tempting. Damn you people.

If I only had a brain...
I've had mine two years and never a problem. Upgraded the hard drive about a year ago via Weaknees.

I've had mine for three or four years and have never had a problem. I think I've had to reboot it only a handful of times.

Sue, it was me not Wolfram who asked you about Firefox. Firefox is much less bloated than earlier version of netscape. It also seems more stable to me. So don't know if you are in a position to make suggestions at work - but if you are, you might want ask if they would consider adding Firefox as an option.

Sorry, Typo.
I am so not in a position to make any suggestions. I work for behemoth gubberment, and I don't think the decisions about what browser we use are even made in our Dept. I think someone way up the food chain decided it was IE for us all the way.

I've had my Tivo for 3 years. About a year ago the hard drive got fried in a blackout, but it didn't take too long to get fixed and it's been great otherwise. I got the hard drive upgraded when I got it fixed.
