He is very good at what he does, though. I admire the way he manages to turn his customers into loyal devotees.

Let me put this in terms of a metaphor.

Apple=motor scooter

PC=turbo crotchrocket


Do you understand folks? You can do a lot more and have a shitton more fun with a pc(crotchrocket), and its way cooler.

Apple(motor scooter) is safer and more economical, but its pretty lame.

Scooters aren't lame. I have one and it's only 125cc, and I can do 70mph on it. They are great fun. I have to admit I wouldn't mind a fast motorbike though.

How is a scooter any safer than a "crotch rocket" at the same speeds?

They aren't safer at the same speed, but a "crotch rocket" can go much faster than a scooter. You're pretty much limited to around 70mph at a real push on most scooters. Good motorbikes can go well over 100mph.

That's like saying that you're safer in a golf cart than you are in a car.

Unless it topples over you are much safer in a golf cart than a car. If you have a scooter that can go 70mph, you'll go at 70mph. If you have a "crotch rocket" that goes 140mph, you'll go at 140mph, and be more likely to kill yourself.

If I had a "crotch rocket" there's no way I could resist driving it flat out

If I win the lottery, I'll buy you a 748 Ducatti.
