When I built my first computer, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. You know how I solved that problem? I RTFM'd (Read The Fucking Manual). It is only "difficult" for people to understand because most people are too lazy to try and learn anything for themselves.

sure maybe that guy who is an expert mechanic can build a car and make it as fast as a Ferrari but the chances are it's not going to be as visually pleasing and it's going to take him a lot of time which most normal people who have money just go by the Ferrari which also happens to come with a logo saying Ferrari or a repair shop they can drop off repairs or support they call for help.
Oh, the dumb Mac = Ferrari vs PC = Hyundai analogy again. This analogy fails for so many reason. The primary reason being, Macs and the PC equivalent counterparts have the same hardware. Ferrari's and Hyundai's do not.

I find this statement funny, considering that you just tried to use the "Mac = Ferrari, PC = Hyundai" analogy just 2 short paragraphs ago. So are you now saying that a shitty little Hyundai has more power and speed than a top of the line Ferrari?

All hope apparently is not lost on you though. I for one was never talking about a difference in price of a few hundred bucks. But when it comes down to $3k for the basic model with less specs vs my $1,200 system...
