Ah, the silly car analogy again. The Mac is the $200 dollar pencil that is sold to the minions as " the BMW of pencils – does everything other pencils do only cost a lot more – but it proves you are cool and stylish"

Your off-the-scale hyperbole (And logically fallacious dismissal of the analogy which does show the meaninglessness of your prior attack) makes it almost pointless to respond, but the fact is that out here in the real world there are indeed pencils out there that cost $15-20 each, that do indeed do more than regular 29¢ pencils (drafting pencils, special art pencils and the like). And yeah, those $20 jobs do tend to look cooler and more stylish, and you can use them to just write grocery lists with, if you really want to. However, I can't think of anyone I know offhand that would use them for that purpose.

I said a $200 pencil, not a $20 pencil.

IF you buy a computer to be cool, that is your trip.
