And yet, Apple computers are expensive as all hell, along with their IPhone.

So, we get stuff that is overpriced compared to the competitors. Apple is a status symbol, nothing more.

Many of my friends have had their Macbooks(?) die, or malunction and be unable to repair it. I was able to easily replace a very slowly dying hard-drive, and Firefox produced this 3.7 year old Vista’s only BSOD.

You know how I can tell you’ve never worked in the creative department of a large advertising agency?

These companies depend on their creatives being able to stay late, which requires uninterrupted up time for the equipment creatives use. They can’t be calling IT in at 2 in the morning while cramming for a new business bid because some freelancer or client supplied file exposed them to the latest worm or windows exploit. Apple products dominate production studios because they work, with a reliability PC’s running Microsoft simply can’t match.
