Gateway vs. Apple

[jefhatfield]

mostly, i do car analogies for fun

but like i said before, there really is no car that is the equivalent to apple

macs are the most unique product i have ever seen in the marketplace and among the mac users i know, i know of no product with the same type of loyalty as the mac

i love my volvo, but i would not get upset if i got a new vette or porshce to replace my volvo

i like the grilled chicken sandwich at mcdonald's better than the other stuff there but if they took if off the menu, i would adjust

i am a 49ers fan and if the franchise dissolved, i would still watch football and eventually pick a new favorite like the raiders (my second fav anyway) or the chargers in san diego

but if macs went off the market, i would severely miss them and no pc would ever give the same feeling as the mac

and thus, for me, the mac is very unique and is unlike any product, car or otherwise, that i have ever seen in my 40 years

Well said. Mac are indeed truly unique in this way.

Macmax and Porsche

Agreed, i wasn't very clear as i am hastily typing cause i am at work. Th e911 TT is king of Production cars and the GT2 and GT3 are some of the greatest cars ever period. Maybe the next Powerbook Ti could be very closely compared with say the Carrerra 4.!!

Just too funny ...

!.2 Ghz and it runs windows98.....

WOW!!! Next you will be crowing about running jet fuel through your lawn mower...
