It's the ergonomics. There's rarely a moment where Apple doesn't
   keep in mind the User but an ongoing issue with Windows, Linux
   and Android (being a Linux product) is the end-user is nearly an
   afterthought and it shows.

   Mind you, any place where Apple products have to Interface with
   the REST OF the planet, they suck. Bad. Their interfaces to
   Windows, Linux and Android products are atrocious. [iTunes is
   annoying as hell to work with and I just don't bother]

   But if you stick to a happy Apple-only existence everything is
   marvelous and smooth. I would definitely love to be able to do
   that, but - there's the main issue with Apple products: cost.

   They've broken the barrier with the ipod/iphone/ipad and loads
   of discounts and pre-paid recycled units allowing Apple products
   to get into the hands of millions. But their computers still
   can't touch the Toshiba cheapie laptops [Mine is a $400 Toshiba
   that's been serving me well for almost 3 years, no complaints].

   I've known people who had nothing but issues with Androids, and
   other people who found them perfect right out of the box. Some
   companies do it better than others, so it's hard to generalize.
   Given a choice between the two, it honestly wouldn't matter to
   me in the end.

   They serve the exact same functions and I'm perfectly capable of
   working within whatever limitations their are of the systems.
   After all, computers and devices are FAR FAR FAR away from where
   they _need to be_ and current models of anything are just toys
   compared to what'll be here in the next few years.

   I can't wait smile emoticon
