Techie,

To feel cool, u always dont have show off to the chicks, u know. What you feel is what that's matters most. And Apple is the leader in consumer satisfaction. Reps and Macofanatics have always said that they want to be the Mercedes or BMW of the computers. So it is upto the consumer's choice if they wanna buy a BMW or Toyota. Like Toyota, both HP and dell are awesome, but certain "things" are missing. Probably just a perception but that's how market works. Rite?
