I have never understood these tribal wars between brands. A real techno enthusiast buys what he or she needs to get the job done. That can come from any brand. All brands have their strengths and weaknesses. It is folly to smack apple or any other brand as they all produce something some one will enjoy. Why war over choice? I sincerely don't get this attitude.
Visit my home and you will find a plethora of brands.
