guy; they liked the PC guy more.  That is because the world doesn't like bullies they like underdogs.  John Hodgeman is more relatable than Justin Long.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I also get pissed off when Apple says peripherals are included.  Yeah they are included because of the upped price.  But now they are harder to upgrade because they are fused into an "idiot proof" box.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;(But I'm not entirely anti-Apple.  Their interface on the computers is slick and Vista is mostly a retread of Apple and Linux work.)  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;http://kylebeabo.blogspot.com/</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20376955/406056676181247346/comments/default/2824953798209576086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20376955/406056676181247346/comments/default/2824953798209576086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/03/cult-of-apple-part-2.html?showComment=1175088780000#c2824953798209576086' title=''/><author><name>kylebeabo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10975986911096882382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/03/cult-of-apple-part-2.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-406056676181247346' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20376955/posts/default/406056676181247346' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-219572045'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.displayTime' value='Mar 28, 2007 4:33:00 PM'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-6481793023937619600</id><published>2007-03-28T15:55:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-03-28T15:55:00.000+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Apple is pretty good with the marketing stuff...i ...</title><content type='html'>Apple is pretty good with the marketing stuff...i will give them that, but I haven't found a good enough reason to give them my money yet.
