I have had several Sony VAIOs,one that I bought in 2000- the sales person tried to dissaude me from purchase,and it worked until it could no more.In companies that I have worked for,both my own and others-even while some brands,ie Dell etc,were the official "yes",I always had a Sony for myself.

Most recently,I had an issue with my Sony,and it was BACK to me before I really noticed it was gone.A day or so ago I spent almost two hours on the phone with tech support for my reader-we determined it was an issue with the device,my replacement should be here Monday I think.


I am extraordinarily hard on my computing devices- if ANYTHING fell apart on me in the first 6-12 months,and the company did not stand by the product,I would not purchase one again. Right now, I'm not even sure I'd be able to COUNT the number of sony products that we currently own at home......

I often call it an ipod for books-that seems to make people less confused,they understand the analogy quite easily-everything else always results in very lengthy conversations...and sometimes I'm just NOT in the mood for them LOL

I was at a BBQ last weekend,where the host has a Kindle,and alot of people asked me about my Sony reader,which of course I had in my tote...and people spent the afternoon comparing the devices-of course that was right when it made the news about 1984 etc...so interesting conversation.From that small group-most preferred the Sony and thought it was a great idea-but they'd never had a chance to really SEE devices....
