Ummm... yes it is. When Snap-On or Matco (Mac Tools) will give you a
tool, "on the books", before you actually have the money to pay,
that's a monstrous advantage. Served me well, specially when the
Snap-On truck came once a week and the closest other professional tool
supply was 100 miles away. I had a choice? I think not.


Excuse me!? Of any era? If you take a look, Apple has long since
abandoned its use of Motorola processors in favor of the same CPUs
(Duo-Core, etc) used in your std PC. As for the software, OS X is
mostly unix-based, a non-Apple created OS that's older than either
Microsoft or Apple and the basis of that ugly upstart, Linux. You
know Linux, that outlaw OS you would have us believe is jes a mere
pretender and/or flash in the pan? That OS that's on most of the
computer servers, regardless of hardware platform, most of the
internet functions on?


Actually, it'd be more difficult to point out the differences.


The reason is due to the open architecture that IBM designed into the
original PC and its overwhelming brilliance. It's still the standard
by which all others are judged, despite being over 40 yrs old. Yes,
it's cheaply produced. The Taiwanese blew IBM out of the market by
virtue of their mfg power. Little has changed, since.


Ummm.... geeks flock to PC in droves! Buy 'em, build 'em, hack 'em,
love 'em! It's the overpriced bogus crap from Apple that geeks laugh
at and avoid like the plague.


Like I said, overpriced crap. Cheap Linux Beowulf-like clusters have been
eating away at Cray's market for years. As for Whole Foods, I'd shop there
only if I had no better alternative, and even then I'd buy little.

I don't know what your point is. If left up to the people, then they
certainly wouldn't change the words they use on a daily basis, and have for
100 years, because some international organization adopted them as
standards. You seem to have very odd ideas about some things.

OK, you don't have a back yard. But you do have a garbage disposal!
