hey AC, don't think you're any better here. Isn't the whole idea behind Bit Torrent that the more users the are the better? I really hate the feeling that some people on the net seem to have that anyone who's a "n00b", or someone who isn't "part of the scene" is a worthless piece of shit.
Figure out a way to handle it... hey, why don't you just put up a link to a torrent that holds the web page instead of bitching on/.
Go for the player with the largest capacity one can afford.
I totally agree with you here. I was out shopping for an iPod in February and all that I could find in all of Montreal was a 5gig PC version or 20gig Mac version. (i know, i know, i could have just reformated it) The 20giger was a bit pricey, but it has turned out to be such a huge help. Not only can I fit absolutely all my music on there, but when my PowerBook needed a little reformat after a bad OS update, having the iPod made backups a breeze.
I don't know if you can draw that parallel between Linux and Apple, they're two different entities.
As a company Apple might have tried to get their computers into primary and high schools, but what are kids doing with computers at that age? Mostly drawing pictures, writing essays, making posters, and maybe a little bit of programming. Extend those uses out a couple of years, and you see that Apple computer is competitive in the desktop publishing and artwork worlds.
This is not to say that Apple didn't shit the bed in terms of marketing itself (and introducing marketable items) in the late 80's and early 90's. But for you to say that it's nonsense that linux wont be better off if today's highschool kids are using it, just because of Apple's faults, is a bit off.
I'm in Kingston, Ontario, my housemates and I used to use the Sympatico service until they threw in that cap. We called the local cable co (Cogeco) and they said that they have a 5gig cap. But we asked around the student ghetto and friends said that it wasn't inforced at all... over we went to cable. Now we put up with a bit of a slowdown in the evenings, but it sure beats the hell out of getting hit with a $100 internet bill.

Possible answer:
Mac Price / Mac Upgrade Cycle = PC Price / PC Upgrad Cycle
