   If the evidence shows that Apple's hardware has a flaw and that he made a   
   mistake buying from them, Anal Snit doesn't want to acknowledge it. The   
   only kind of evidence he accepts is whatever makes Apple look good.

   In the case of Windows though, even if the operating system did that,   
   people wouldn't care because they can replace the worn component. In some   
   cases, they're even happy to do so because it provides them with an excuse   
   to upgrade. Doing that with a Mac is not even an option.

   I only recommend Macs to people who are terrified of using a screwdriver.   
   For them, it remains the best option.
