Apple makes some great products, but aren't the Holy Grail of computing. MS has made some crappy products, but aren't near as bad as many people make them out to be.

But there are also people who know who Clarus the Dogcow is, rebuilt a desktop, allocated RAM to Photoshop, built HyperCard stacks, transitioned to PowerPC to IBM 601 to Motorola 604 to IBM G3s to Motorola G4s to IBM G5s to Intel Core Duos, cried when Bill Gates showed up on screen at Macworld Boston, the Newton, Mac clones and remember Steve Jobs the first time around and have been preaching the cult of the Mac long before Halo was a Mac only game.
For some, they are a vanity item but so are Ferrari's. Doesn't mean you should take one for a rip given the chance.
