In the timeless words of Nelson, "HaaaHa"!
Wow, Talk about getting long in the tooth. The only thing remotely amusing was Harry Shearer's voiceover.
Haven't watched the Simpsons in a long time and this doesn't exactly show the way back. Meanwhile Apple products definitely have a lot more caché than the Simpsons -- said as an iPhone and soon-to-be MacBook Pro user. None of my PC buddies and Microsoft employee classmates say different.

Ah so true. Apple has 1/2 the quality, 1/2 the capability for 3x the price. The only thing that Apple actually has going for it is tremendous marketing to loser hipsters and the Prius lot.
Your numbers are slightly skewed - here's afix:
Apple has twice the quality, twice the capability, half the software, for twice the price.

I use my PC when I have to but I use my Mac because I WANT to, it's like the difference between a turkey sandwich and Thanksgiving dinner. You can't understand it until you experience it.
Yawn...
