“But the hardware you do get is soooo much better.”

It’s the same. The same chipsets. The same boards. The same panels.

It's pointless trying to reason with the Macolytes.

They're blinded by their religion (one of them even admitted that he "converted"), degrading themselves by worshiping a leftwing stooge who founded his company by selling illegal telephone pirating devices, and then lifted Xerox's IP (and got sued for it)... and then plays the "It's mine, I stole it fair and square" game -- while courting such conservative luminaries as Al Gore.

Their cult icon is the hottest brand among the hard-left and gay "community" -- and the more they bleat their devotion, insult their betters, and emulate their master, the more they SEEM like the same branded sheep that normal, rational people despise.

In short, you can't reason with them. Elevated BP lies in that path. It's pointless. Might as well try to talk philosophy with a drunk, or calculus with a whore, or political science with a crackhead. Pointlessness defined.

Leave them to their bogo-religion, scorn them openly when in the company of other rational sentient beings, but don't let them bait you into descending to their level to try to "debate" them, because... well it's pointless.

True, but one would have thought some reason might have descended after Apple tacitly admitted they’d been lying about the performance of their systems for years by switching to PC hardware....

Virginia Tech got a bit screwed when they believed the G5 hype and built a cluster with them....

Please quit with the lies, Don Joe. The facts prove you are a liar. Xerox lost that lawsuit because Apple paid them handsomely for the PARC visit... and took no code, stole nothing. The Quote you are citing is actually more closely attributed to Bill Gates than Steve Jobs.

Ad hominem attack is the last refuge of those who have no facts to apply to an discussion... ergo, you have lost this discussion before you even entered the fray.
