    That's funny. Every time I see a Mac, I just can't help thinking of all of the Banana Republic-shopping, Ikea-buying, VW-driving ultra-feminine, super-sensitive men who love these things because they happen to match everything else they purchase. Ugh. That whole chrome new-wage techno-yuppie consumerism bullshit makes me sick. YOU ARE NOT YOUR COMPUTER.

    At twice the price of a comparably powerful PC. Apple isn't an option unless you're image concious. Accept it and get over it.
