   In case you are unaware you have made the mistake of engaging with Alan   
   who is the ultimate Apple fanboi.   
   Nobody else is even close to his religious zealot like behavior regarding   
   Apple.   
   And that includes that subhuman snit troll as well.   
   Unlike the snit troll, Alan is quite well versed in Apple products but you can   
   never mention Apple in anything other than 100% positive because he will go   
   berserk.   
      
   I'm confident that you will be happy with your new Mac. Apple makes excellent   
   products which is one reason why many are happy with the company.   
      
   Good luck.
