“I agree, so, why not open up your eyes and try to notice that, you’re paying much higher prices for something that is not materially nor functionally, worth that much more than a regular PC with Windows. Macs may be nice, but, why are they “necessary” in a “practical” world, where technology becomes obsolete from one week to the next. “
Oh, but it is both - materially and functionally better. Macs don’t become obsolete “from one week to the next” in fact their working lifetime is generally longer than Windows boxes.
“So, my retort would be that, “none are so blind as the sheep that worship at the feet of Jobs (he’s dead, so...), at the feet of Apple?”
Terrible retort. No one is “worshipping” anything, any more than people
“worship” Porsche. Your criticism of Porsche is laughable:
“Most people don’t drive a Porsche, for the same reason most people don’t own a Mac. They’re more expensive to drive out of the store, and more expensive to maintain, and don’t really get you to your destination “any better or faster” than another practical equivalent.”
Most people don’t own a Porsche because they can’t afford one. Those who can, appreciate them for their styling, engineering, lavish interior, and performance. They certainly can get you to your destination faster, especially if your destination is the spot in front of the oncoming semi truck as you hit the freeway onramp.
To each his own, by all means enjoy the wonders of Windows if that’s what you want. Some folks just enjoy pain, apparently. :-)
