when it comes down to it, most design is only about aesthetics, and is therefore a superfluous endeavor.
As a designer I am constantly torn between my love of art and creation, and shame for the sheer excess of our culture.
so really, I don't give a shit about what most things in my life look like as long as they work well.
and I REALLY don't care if my fuckin mp3 player matches anything. (and i'd never spend $300 on one)

just price out an equivalent spec pc vs. apples offerings. prices are not that crazy.
People see apple mbp for $2k+ and see a dell for $700 and think it's the same thing. Spec the dell up to the mbp and see where you're at

GT_1, I love how you're calling people geeks and all the while you're steady getting your kicks out of stirring up arguments about "function over form/mac vs. pc" by posting on an internet forum.
geek it up, I'm enjoying it.

(Jul 8 07, 21:25)i am calling you with my iphone while using my macpro and watching 42 inch flat screen with surround sound, rocking on my eames chair, with my feet up on panton chair, in my swanky ultra modern loft in NY wearing Alain Mikli glasses and dior japanese waxed denim along with my custom limited nike hightops with Ice Cream sweat shirt.

right so no one buy a mac. right? right. i'll have to spread the word in a myspace bulletin.
seriously, do we really have to make a fuss everytime somebody buys something that you personally wouldn't? it's all a matter of taste/usage/compromise anyways, so why spend your time arguing if it was an individual choice in the first place.
gththththth

By the way, besides the initial system itself, nothing really costs that much if you know where to look. Particularly anti-virus software, if you need that.
