    The AirPort 802.11b "Snow" as opposed to the "Graphite"

    I like the simplicity of the "one name" naming scheme, but it's a PITA to figure things out when someone says, "It's an iMac."

    What color?

    Blue.

    Bondi, Blueberry, or Indigo?

    It's a light blue.

    Does it have a DVD-ROM drive?

    I dunno.

    Is it slot-loading?

    What does that mean?

    It means I'll come over tomorrow.

    Apple used to have an easy solution for this by giving logical names to the different Powermac models such as "Yikes," "Yosemite," and "Sawtooth." However, they abandoned this in favor of non-descript names like "Quicksilver" and "Mirror Drive Door." For the life of me, I can't figure out how people remember model names now.

    Which is better, a 5400, a 6300, a 7200, or an 8100? Normal people couldn't figure that mess out.

    What part of "more is better" couldn't "normal people" understand?

    What kind of PC do you have?

    -uhh... it's greay and has some stickers on the front...

    Does it have USB?

    -whats that?

    Is it a Dell or what?

    -I get email on it...

    don't really see the difference... sure there is an Inspiron 230000000 and a 2300000001, but what is the difference between the two?
