Trying to explain why your Mac is cooler than a Windows PC is just as difficult as explaining why your 993 is so much cooler than a C5 Corvette.
But I don't want to listen to "Porsche owners" kindly "explaining" to me why the 993 is so much cooler than a C5 'Vette every single time someone mentions "cars", even when nobody is asking specifically for "Porsche" advice.

Q: I found a pin hole leak on my radiator. What should I do?
A: Why, go buy a 993!

Q: How do I rebuild/replace (insert part here) on my (insert car here)?
A: Don't bother, it's a POS and it will break eventually. Why don't you just get a 993? Everything about that car makes perfect sense, starting with the engine being in the trunk!

If you don't believe me, go back and read any of "car" (read: computer) related topics on PPOT.



PS As I was typing it just occured to me that the Mac = Porsche analogy is in fact pretty accurate, even down to little details like "everything being intuitive".
