It's getting to the point that all the chain saws look alike--except Stihl. I have a early 80s Poulan Micro XXV that just won't give up the ghost. If and when it ever does, I'd seriously consider an Echo. I have an Echo string trimmer that's almost as old and still runs good.
36 cc sounds a little low to be running a 16" bar. Keep the chain sharp! If you're seeing sawdust, not chips, coming off of it, you're overdue on sharpening.
