What is your point?
It just seems stupid, I'm intelligent enough to handle Linux, why
would I screw around with Apple?
I was MORE than "intelligent enough" to handle the Kent engine in a Formula F (Ford)...
...but I had better things to do...
...so I now own a Formula F HONDA that requires far less "handling".
But what is the alleged "sacrifice of control"? What does that even
mean? My Macs are somehow "out of control"?
More on the hardware side, the Mac mini is a pretty nifty solution to
the "regular desktop" demand for an Apple device, and I could use one,
but it nevertheless lacks the expandability of my real tower desktop
system.
Have you actually expanded your "real" tower desktop?
