In my experience most hardcore Macolytes are homosexual men unburdened by the expense of a family.
Many people buy them because they meet (or met in my case) their specific needs but people who buy electronic hardware as fashion accessories are just as hilarious as people who use Internut Exploder because it makes Google work.
Back in 2003 the then current configuration of the Chateau was even smaller on the inside than it is now.
I needed something to play music, browse the web, play my DVD's with a big enough display to fiddle around with Photoshop so I got the then very expensive PowerBook G4 17 inch screen laptop.
It was then the largest screen laptop on the market, it allowed me to not need a television screen, a HiFi, a large computer and the the furniture to hold it and it still works.
The customer service however was terrible and a saga too long for detailing here though I imagine I've waxed lyrically about it in the past.
Even so not many people can lay claim to having running a laptop for a decade, which still works relatively well (a few issues with the latest versions of VLC but that's a software issue not a hardware one) and I've never had a confirmed virus on the thing.
Only once was something a bit odd detected on my frequent sweeps and it didn't actually do anything to my machine.
It might have caused havoc if I hadn't caught it in time and passed it on to a PC user but I did catch it and it didn't.
