You used to be emphatic the the 26M was a total redesign of the 26X,
and that no conclusion could be derived from the problems of the
earlier boats. Now you're lumping together every Mac ever made (and
the Ventures) and claiming that by their very numbers, they must be
good.

Sure are. But when thousands of Mac owners obviously like their boats,
and when over 85% of 26M owners state that they would buy the boat
again, it strongly suggests that most Mac owners are happy with their
boats.

Omigosh! I didn't realize it was that bad! You're saying that 15% of
Mac owners say it was a horrible blunder?
