"I call BS on that. If that was the case you wouldn't have insulted your parent poster by saying:
"you probably just have sour grapes because you can't afford one on a dell helpdesk salary.""
Actually I typed that last line specifically to make a point, and here it is, since it's become evident that it went entirely misunderstood:
It's one thing to decide that you're not going to buy something because of whatever reason you like. It is something else entirely to come all up in MY face and imply that I'm foolish, or an idiot, or some sort of ego-freak because of my choice of computational equipment. The first one is something that any reasonable person does throughout their day. The second is only something that someone who is most ironically foolish, stupid, or possessing an ego clearly far larger than mine, does.
It was an object lesson, get it? The meaning of my sentence was commentary on the argument used in the message to which I was responding.
