Wow. That's the longest response I've ever elicited in any formum/email/conversation/etc ever. As I mentioned, I don't have a problem with people who like Macs, if it works for you, great. I was only replying to the "extraordinary quailty" statement with my own admittedly anecdotal evidence. And yes, probably what I am seeing is people who feel the same as you where the fit and finish of OSX exceeds their expectations and they are willing to pay more and/or be more forgiving about hardware failures if they happen. That's their choice, but it's not mine.
