I have been a Mac owner for 9 months before that I had PC's and I have converted to the cult. I am all about bang for your buck which is why I love the Smart. It has heat form and function. The same can be said about Apple products, great form and function. I use to not be a fan of Macs until I used one. I have been a fan of the Smart since I lived in France and drive one for a year. It's all about preference and also longevity. Smarts have been around for over a decade and some of my friends still rock the 06 iBook, you get what you pay for there is not much difference. As for the iPhone I can't live without it. It hooks up to my car and now everything I do backs up onto my MacBook. It's all form and function. I am a programmer and small business owner.

There's a difference between the man who sires a child and the one who raises it. Unfortunately, there is no English word for a father who does not raise his children.

That they're overpriced and elitest. Franklin Gothic does rock! Maybe I'll try to be a bit more empathetic. I’m a designer too and I feel that exact same way about Macs.

It's a bit buggy and does that some times. Sorry! I'm trying to fix it! You logged in with the google friend connect feature, didn’t you? It’s a bit buggy and does that some times. Sorry!

Nor do i really use the iPod feature. Let's face it.... i have iTunes and everything about it. Not only that, but i don't need my own personal soundtrack as i'm walking around like half of these twits seem to be incapable of living without. The only reason i changed my mind about getting an iPhone (was utterly against them at first) was because after having a Motorola Q9 smartphone for over a year, and having next to no interesting/usable applications for it, not to mention a Windows Update app on the phone that NEVER had an update... i wanted something with more functionality. As for vehicles..... i can see the point behind trucks. construction workers need them, and basically can't live without them. semi's are basically a requirement for freight services/cross-country large quantity shipments. SUV's..... maybe a family vehicle? but i don't see why a sedan wouldn't work in that category. SUV's don't hold all that much, cargo wise. There's also the fact that 9 times out of 10, when you see someone driving a SUV, they're the only one in the thing. Why spend $60-80 a week in gas to drive yourself around? I went from a Dodge Durango to my Smart brabus.... and i don't regret the move in the least.
