   I know what you mean.  This is 'function following form' tail-dog   
   wagging at its finest.   
      
   It just struck me why Apple fanboys are so enamored with small form   
   factors to the degree they are.  I like SFFs too, but not if they   
   don't get the job done the way I like it.   
      
   For some things, a slightly larger tool is needed to get the job done.   
     But the latte sippers believe the lie "Awwwww, that's alright honey,   
   its not how big it is, its how you use it..." .
