      Fair enough.  But I need to accept my failings and buy at my level.

      Like those guys who are too dumb for Shakespeare, so they read comic books.

      oh snap 😉 😉 😉

        Taste has nothing to do with stupidity Chris, you of all people should know that  😉

        Well I don't recall ever being accused of having good taste, so there you go- dumb and tasteless.  It's a hell of a way to go through life…

            My last Windows desktop computer got so riddled with malware, spyware and viruses that it literally burned up the CPU trying to keep up with them. I had that sucker tricked out as far as I could, and the computer was nearly six years old, so I couldn't complain too much

            I bought my Macbook because I had less than stellar experiences with Windows based laptops. They were slow and difficult to upgrade, which is a must for me on Windows

            So far, no major fails on my Macbook, I actually find it easier to upgrade the HD on my Macbook than it was on my Windows based laptop, the computer still flies at top speed almost three years later. I did upgrade the RAM myself but it was totally unnecessary. I'm running a 500GB hybrid drive at the moment and will probably switch to an SSD soon. My battery is getting long in the tooth as well, going to have to install a new one (only $100). All this being said, I don't think the new Macbooks are designed to be opened up

            While I spent a lot more money on my laptop, if you calculate how much I make per hour and multiply by the number of hours I didn't have to wait for system restarts, running spyware, anti virus, defragging, upgrading components, and just random Windows frustration, I'm practically making money. Time is money pal

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

              Just to comment on this, the macbook pro's still have replaceable ram and hard drives, however the ram on the airs is soldered down.  You can replace hard drives on the air, but it will void the warranty as apple does not consider it a consumer serviceable part.

                  Totally not aimed at Chris or anyone else, but I find the "I hate Apple" brigade to be even more annoying than the "I love Apple" brigade. They make consumer electronics, buy them or not, just stop sexualising the company either positively or negatively.

                    I'm allergic to apples. True story. Also: my first PC lasted for 10 years. My "new" one is two years old and I'm gonna try and break the record with it…

                      Sorry to hear that.  Apples are wonderful.  I especially love Honeycrisp apples.  They're delicious.  Pink Lady and Jazz apples are pretty awesome, too.

                      And my technological curse had extended to another day-

                      Sure it's just a cheap point & shoot camera, but it takes good pictures and it's easy to use.  Spiderwebbing the display sucks.

                              I'm looking to grab an air in the next year myself.  Got a 17inch pro two years ago and I love it, it's just a pain in the ass to haul around.

                                Nope, floor is good.  I dropped the camera outside on the concrete while I was taking some pics of my new pair for the HWDC-2.  I was doing a standing denim shot when the breeze picked up.  I grabbed for the jeans, and dropped the camera in the process.  Brilliant move- save the jeans that would be completely unharmed, at the expense of the delicate piece of electronics.

                                Camera still works, so at least it's not a real loss, just an ugly annoyance.

                                      I went with the Studio D'Artisan X's-33 I PM'd you about a while back, Mega.  Really interesting denim on those things.
