How so?

I form an opinion on the bsis that I can buy an equivalent product for less than half the cost form another manufacturer.

I will never own a Jaguar automobile either. I can get something that does the same job, or better for less money. Am I ignorant for not ever wanting to buy a Jag?

And BTW I drive a 13 yo car that I bought brand new that has NEVER broken down. That's because it was built to last.
What kind of car? Yr Make Model?

Its interesting how people who hate Apple and think their products are crap still hold them to higher standards and expect more out of them than other electronics manufacturers. People dont switch to PS3 when their XBox goes RROD on them, they just get another XBox. I guess failures are expected from Microsoft products.

Part of it is undoubtedly the "it just works" marketing hype from Apple. People expect more because that's how Apple sets their expectations.

Yes they do. A guy I worked with bought a PS3 after having 3 xboxes.

As far as Apple goes, it the company and users that talk up the product so much. Some talk it up like its a prefect product. Its not. I wouldn't call them junk but would never call them perfect.

The Apple rep was in at work on day and the shit that came out his mouth was funny. He didn't like me not bowing down to Apple.

1) Apple users hating on non-Apple users
2) Non-Apple users hating on Apple users

I've always seen more of #2 than #1.

Just sayin'.

No I just wont ever buy an Apple product again. Fuck them.

Pssst.. Don't tell anyone I told you this but 95% electronics are built or assembled or processed or etc in china.

My droid is chinese. Pretty much every part on my expensive PC is chinese. Even some of my porn is chinese.

My creative Zen Vision M has worked great for the past 4 or so years. Although the radio on it stopped working but that was a know problem. How it just stops working, I have no clue.
