Can someone please explain to me what the big deal is with Apple products? What's the obsession? And lets see a show of hands -- who has Apple stickers on their car? Don't be embarassed. C'mon, show of hands.

Apple users love being ahead of the curve. It gives a feeling of smug superiority to you pc losers.

Observe,

Had one on my old car but wife doesn't want any sticky stickers on the new one, just those vinyl cling types.

Apple is apple you either like it or not ... it's kinda like the 'Jeep' club which I never knew existed until my wife bought a Jeep Wrangler a bunch of years ago and all of the sudden all these other Wrangler drivers would give us this 'wave' when we were driving, all the sudden we were in this secret club and all we had to do was buy a Wrangler.

Apple people are diverse and varied but would probably rather share their seat on a train with another Apple user than someone with a Dell, IBM, or HP. I don't know why ... it is down right computerist and I should be ashamed.

Try this angle.

You want to help the retail situation in Philadelphia ? Do you want a very large retail store that will be busy from day one ? It's almost a no brainer.

Kang: Abortions for all. [crowd boos] Very well, no abortions for anyone. [crowd boos] Hmm... Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others. ...


Apple stores for some .... not apple stores for others ....

How come Apple stuff needs so much servicing? I've never owned an Apple, but is their hardware proprietary? How come you can't just mail order some memory from a huge distributor and install it yourself? That's how I upgrade my non-hip dells.

They don't.

Sometimes you need more memory or storage now, not tomorrow. Some people actually use their computers for more than porn and plugging in an ipod.
