the aesthetics of apple gear is only part of it. when you are working  
hard on your work, are you seriously looking at your apple rig, one  
hand on the mouse, the other hand deep in your pants, thinking "Oh,  
how COOL this thing looks?"

NO!

You're thinking how well it all works. How smoothly. How free of bugs  
and quirks that trip you up every third molecule.

The fine industrial design pulls you in, but the peerless  
functionality is what makes you STAY.
