Apples Are For Grannies?

RoboJock writes "So much for Justin Long — the young, hip 'n' trendy face of the Apple Mac (as seen in the 'Mac vs. PC' ads) is even further removed from the average Mac owner than everyone suspected... By three or four decades. According to research discussed at Silicon.com, 'nearly half of Mac owners are 55 and older — that's almost double the share for average home-PC users.' It seems the young guns don't have the extra cash to stump up for smooth shiny aesthetics." From the article: "For the digital youth, high-street box shifter Gateway is the brand of choice, taking the number-one slot among PC buyers aged between 18 and 25. Dan Ness, principal at MetaFacts, said in a statement: 'Apple can claim long-time loyalists but its future among the young technoliterati is an interesting dynamic.'"

For grannies?

Like a Grannie Smith apple? Those are good cooking and baking apples. Don't knock it.

The OP is a misquote of the Bruce Springsteen song "Racing in the streets" with "high-street box shifter" subbed for "Hurst". Nigel Springsteen is of course the English version of Bruce Springsteen, since all Englishmen are named Nigel (much like all Aussies are named Bruce). Except Bruce Springsteen, who is not Australian. Of course it's not funny after you dissect it (if, indeed, it ever was). Fuelie heads are much sought after cylinder heads for hot rodding small block Chevy engines (Car Guys, help me out here). I think fuelie has to do with fuel injection?
