I can never understand two things.
1) Why the idiots take such a self serving attitude and dump on Apple.
2) Why do Apple owners care what PC people think?
Everyone grow up. When you are mature you will understand that:
a) 99% of people buy cars based upon price and looks. Otheriwise we would all be in those Russian buggies. Why do people buy Ferraris when for $30K you can put together a car that would beat every performance benchmark of a Ferrari. The reason is because it wouldn't be a Ferrari. A $10 Timex quartz keeps better time than the best Rolex. But I would rather have a Rolex - maybe you wouldn't. There is an inherent joy in style, in design, in look and feel. If Microsoft didn't believe that as well PC people would still be using C:\>
b) You have the freedom of choice. And guess what. It doesn't make you wrong! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, has its advantages and disadvantages.
c) You have the right to like what you like. And guess what. It doesn't make you wrong. I like what I like. I don't have to justify it to you or anyone. And since I left home I don't need anyone to judge me and my tastes.
Thank god there is an Apple, because unlike all PC clones, Apple delivers a significant choice. You think Apple is stupid? Good for you. Shut up and go back to your PC. You think Apple is great. Good, now shut up and go back to your iMac.
