Yeah, but they're products are often rather inferior though.

My Apple Ipod Touch is never out of reach from me, and I plan on purchasing a macbook soon.
You should not give in to evils, but proceed ever so boldly against them.

What is asserted without reason may be denied without reason.

A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.

He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.

The game apps are really addictive and there are many other apps with very useful features, what more could you want?

Some questions for the i-people who inhabit NSG:

1. Are you pleased with your apple products?
2. What's your favourite feature on you apple product(s)?
3. Do you prefer apple or PC?

I pod touch is awesome, but Mac is still a sucky OP, but their net-books themselves are alright.

I own an iPod... which my parents got me 5 years ago. Sucks that the product they got me from Apple is the one that's [ur=http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/1306/]designed to fail[/url]. Pile on top of that the fact Apple is now more Orwellian than Big Brother's England about it's stuff and I got myself one continuous reminder of why I hate technology and technology geeks. Now my father, the family techno geek (>:CCCC), is thinking about forcing an Amazon Kindle on me to get me to save money up from buying a truckload of books every year. Like I tell him occassionally when his BS grows unbearable, I'll cram down his throat if he even thinks about getting me one. I'll stick to a cord telephone, print literature and my 30 year old typewriter (which I love, ^3^) over high-tech stuff anyway.

Still, I guess I've gotten attached to my iPod, especially after I uploaded all of my reggae records onto it. Now I can feel warm and fuzzy inside thanks to having Toots & the Maytals in my pocket.

Agreed, my 8 gig iPod Nano 3rd Gen(?) is less than halfway full with 1.6 days of music on it.

1. Are you pleased with your apple products?
Yup! I like my Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

2. What's your favourite feature on you apple product(s)?
The fact that it JustWorks. Or at least closer than anything else I've tried.

3. Do you prefer apple or PC?
I like the Mac. But the PC has more and better 3rd party software, and I'm still quite a bit more familiar with Windows than with OSX.

I own none, and never will. I like the idea that a device actually belongs to me, and I can run what I want to on it without regard to a censorship board.

For people who care about "Just Works" and can't or don't want to learn enough to actually own their technology, Microsoft is far cheaper.
