sure, in many ways, large sales dont alway quality

Thank you. overpriced merchandise that isnt user friendly, or intuitive

You have to be kidding.

We're having this argument (from The Pirates of Silicon Valley):
Steve Jobs: We're better than you are! We have better stuff.
Bill Gates: You don't get it, Steve. That doesn't matter!

So, I really enjoy the better stuff. That's my right. Those things I appreciate mean nothing to you, and you prefer being in amongst the herd which gives you an inexpensive product that you feel is winning based on numbers and dollars.

I get off on excellence in human endeavor, you are a utilitarian and a pragmatic. This explains why we have chosen different computers. All of that is fine with me. I have no problem at all with your choice. But you and Echo and Hank before him have a problem with mine.

I would really like to know from any of you what need of yours is satisfied by angrily jumping on every Apple post and trashing the platform we like, inferring that Mac users are mindless, liberal, gay, etc. I'm throwing down the gauntlet and challenging you to tell us what it says about you as a person that you simply MUST do this? Seriously, do you possess the depth to give an honest insightful answer to that?

I'm not allowed to do that on Free Republic.
