Where does Apple bamboozle people? I have had Apple employees try to talk me into a Macbook over a Macbook Pro before. I don’t think that is true at any level.

I would like to hear examples of evil coercion and peer pressure (from a corporation especially) as well. To act like Apple advertising their computers as superior is bad is just silly.

All computer makers naturally try to up sell. So do employees in Best Buy and other places. By this I mean spend more money getting a fancier computer than what you need. Lets get real here. To do e-mail and surf the internet, to use Word, you don't need to spend $750 which is what keyboard, mouse, LCD and mac-mini will cost you minimum! For a small LCD say 20"

Their advertising says it all. You are a moron to buy a PC. Shown in those "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC" TV advertisements designed to amplify peer pressure/ Among the young that you are so uncool to buy a Windows computer. That you are a loser.

Apple loves to feed this peer pressure
