Name a hardware/software computer manufacturer that is superior to Apple. I'm especially interested in UI-responsiveness tests that demonstrate a higher target accuracy. Got any?

Hey if "UI-responsiveness" floats your particular boat, enjoy. Many BOSE-y's swear by "acoustic wave technology", too.

Every niche product has its particular cult.

Fortunately I, and most users, can do anything we want on a PC or another speaker, cheaper, and without enriching Al Gore or Amar Bose. YMMV.....

You have just demonstrated your stupidity. (Here's a clue -- go do some research in human factors. That branch of engineering researches what makes things easy to use.) I'm interested in computers that are easy to use. Your inclusion of Al Gore is also quite funny, because prior to a few months ago, my Apple purchase would not have benefitted him. (As though Al Gore is responsible for UI design.) You also failed to answer the question. Finally, I'll say this -- for most things you can do it cheaper (only if you count up-front cost, and not the cost of your time). But that sort of thinking implicitly assumes your time is worth nothing, which based on your response, I'd have to agree.
