Eh, well .... I put all the blame on my ex-boyfriend.  Most of you will never have heard of him, his name is Guy Kawasaki.  They used to call him the "Mac Evangalist."  He worked for Apple for a number of years (not while we were dating ... that was while he was still getting his MBA).

Anyway, he has written lots of books about different aspects of business ... and one comes to mind called "How to Drive Your Competition Crazy: Creating Disruption for Fun and Profit."  Guy is a great person, a wonderful human being, but I never agreed with this particular idea.  I just don't think that the marketplace should be turned into a war zone just to sell a product.

Of course, I'm not a multi-millionaire and Guy is, so apparently turning the marketplace into a war zone works.  Sad, but true.  Anyway, I think a lot of his thoughts about business practicies can probably still be found at AC, and are very evident in those commercials.

I guess because I've never had a security problem with my PC, and never been limited in the art I produce, or the music I listen to, or the (gasp) business programs I run .... and I'm able to run them all at the same time, I'm just missing out on where this "easily verifyable trust" lies.  I haven't heard a thing in any of those snarky commercials that relates to my machine (note, I say my "machine" .... I have more than enough pets).

Could be worse, could be raining.
