back when rich people had car phones you could argue their phones were cars just about as equivalently as their cars being phones

The Dodge Viper was discontinued. As was the Escort.

the viper had ancient technology but attempted to compensate for it with a massive engine. the result was an uncontrollable death monster that is basically useless as a daily driver.

the escort is a fuel-efficient and reasonable car that performs consistently and anyone can use.

this is apparently true for the ~millennials~ and it really frustrates car ad execs who are used to people caring about horsepower, handling, seat leather etc

now people's number 1 concern is how well the car integrates with a smart phone. can I get my text messages on it? can I distract myself by dictating messages as i drive? this is important

they're wasting their time, millennials are broke and can't afford cars anyway

LOL nevermind that Macs keep their resale value way better than PCs, so even if you did buy a new one all the time, to use the car analogy your trade in value would be way higher.

Also, Macs tend to have a longer useful life than PCs.

concentrating on all these advantages obscures the fact that buying a mac is simply the morally correct thing to do

remember that even Steve could change his mind. who is to say that he would not approve of larger phones? surely he knew of the iPhone 5's changing of the One True Screen Size to 4" before his passing (pbuh).

meanwhile tim has continued Steve's longstanding practice of publicly disparaging competitors, and has even brought the erstwhile U2 back into the fold.

I think your post may have been corrupted in transit. Could you do an integrity check? Because it almost sounds like you're badmouthing the Dodge Viper.
