Mac? I can reinstall a complete system in a few hours and install a top of the line whatever-card for 1/4 of the price.

People have their priorities. Those "few hours" every few months are valuable to me.

I can have a computer 10X better than a Mac for $300.

The $280 Dell does not include a $220 monitor.

The same Mac would cost me $3,000

The basic iMac -- which includes a monitor -- is $1,200 and has far more features than the basic Dell including a much better processor.

The only Macs costing $3,000 are specialty products.

and I'd be stuck with crap-Mac products "cloud" nonsense.

You don't need to use "the cloud" with a Mac any more than you need to use "the cloud" with a PC.

But wait, you get to keep all my data in your freaking "cloud"

If you want, although I leave my stuff on my hard drive & use "the cloud" for a backup for some things.

People have their priorities.

They also have their egos, which seems to make them assume that everybody else's priorities need to be made the same as theirs.

He sword...here’s another macbot muddying up a windows topic. Once again I thought you said this never happens.

Why do the macbots feel it neccessary to muddy up windows threads with FUD?
