When it comes to the Mac, people who don't "get it" never will.

A person drives a Lexus, BMW or other similar car because it is one of the best cars out there, not because it is the most cost effective.

That is the same reason I use Macs. Indeed, when you look at overall cost, including the cost of my lost time and headaches when using PeeCees, plus the costs of all the add-ons it would take to get a cheap PC to do what I need it to do, the cost of the Mac is actually quite good.

Many people think that they can't afford Macs, when in reality there are plenty of Macs in most medium budgets. Yes, you won't find the ultra-lowend e-machine style macs, but that is the point... Macs are premium products that are designed to work in premium ways. The people that design them take the time to actually consider how I, as a user, thinks, feels, and interacts with the machine. That consideration from leading designers (yes, Apple has won dozens of awards over the years for their designs and I am not just talking about pretty colors) may come with a little extra cost attached, but for those of us that can appreciate true quality of design, it is a cost worth paying.

If you don't have the resources to buy a mac, that is understandable. If you are a gamer, there aren't as many games on the mac, so it is understandable that the mac is not right for you. However, if you are too cheap to even consider the benefits, then that is simple ignorance by choice and there is no excuse for shouting off on something you truly do not understand.
