You've just made my point! Apple - and Apple Folk - are more concerned with the box being a "work of art" than the functionality/univerality.
Kinda like A Ferrari being a work of art, but to drive across potholes everyday, I'd rather have a 1971 232-6 cylinder, powerslop 2 speed transmission, Chevy Nova.
BTW to all who are still following this thread, I never said I didn't like Apples for some things, they just aren't my cup of tea...er coffee, if you know what I mean.

I know that I use the term "sucks" for all kinds of things I like... < /sarcasm >
