I hate apple as a whole for a lot of reasons.  I think it is wonderful for the old men who have big social security, disability,and retirement checks and nothing to spend it on and have no idea how to use anything else.  Other than that, it's not very useful.  I'll admit, it is easy to use, looks pretty, and apple is a big company, I just think having a Mac is more of a status quo.  I would rather not overpay for the hardware, the software isn't really too important, you can run that in a virtual machine necessary.  I can probably buy equal hardware for half the price and run Linux, saving me money I don't need to spend on Apple.   If I was rich beyond imagination, I wouldn't give two f*cks.  I'd probably have a Mac and Linux computer.  But I'm not, so forget Apple
