I don't understand the appeal of churning out lots of money to turn a 
hammer into a kitsch object.

But then again, computer to a layman is nothing but a gateway to games, 
music and video -- with some office software used to spellcheck emails 
to justify the price as opposed to a mere games console.  Beautiful 
keyboard, mouse, monitor and casing are far more important than whatever 
is on the inside -- the computer itself...
