RE: Open Computer
To those of you who want to throw away your money on a "stylish" Mac; be my guest!!

You will never see me do it. For me, a computer is nothing more than a tool. As long as it does what I need it to do; I could give a s--- how it looks. White Box, Black box, Stainless steel, etc. To me, it is what is under the "hood" that counts. An example:

A long time ago, there was this young woman with a beat up Chevy Vega. These punks in their Fords would pull up to her car, bust out laughing while taking shots at the condition of her car. They would rev up their engine waiting for the light to turn green. Then it is off to the races. Before the unlucky kid could drop his clutch, she was gone!!! He would pull up along side of her at the next light, ashamed. Beaten by some chick in a POS Vega. One day, I saw her at a convenience store, and asked just what was under that hood. She lifted the hood to show me a bored out 427 with dual Holley quads. As I said, its what is under the hood that counts!!!!
