Quote - "Well, I do think education has something to do with knowledge."

Yes, I agree. The key word is something, and as it is your own italic on that word I assume you agree on this.
I have seen highly educated people who are lousy IT professionals and people with no formal academic background who are five star IT experts. So, education has something to do with knowledge but, by itself, does not constitute an evidence that the person is correct in his/her opinions.
Knowledge should speak for itself. When a display of knowledge needs to be acompanied by a statement of "I have a background in xxxx" (replace "xxxx" by the field of expertise of your choice), then something is wrong. It probably means that the person is not very confident in his/her own opinions, and/or has doubts that his/her opinions will be valid by itself, and so needs to back it up with something. This immediately raises lots of doubts in my mind about the validity of whatever that person is saying.

But the heart of the matter of this thread is "perfect Vue computer". Things like statistics or aluminum cases are "fait divers", only partially relevant for this discussion. Until now, I have not seen my arguments pro-PC defeated. I do not claim to have the ultimate truth, nor even to have any truth at all. I just have arguments and I will very humbly bow to whoever proves my arguments are wrong, one by one. Let me repeat them once more (copy+paste from 2 or 3 posts ago):

• Not taking hope as a criteria, can Vue run on 64 bits in OS X? No. Can it run on 64 bits in Windows? Yes. Is this important for Vue? Yes! Comfortable memory space is fundamental for Vue.
• Does Vista have problems? Yes. Does Vue work great on Vista? Yes, as many people will testify (me included). So, does it matter if Vista has problems? No.
• Is OS X "better" than Windows? I don't know. Does it matter? No, because user can't see it, particularly if he wants to run Vue in 64 bits.
• Does OS X have more authoring and media tools? Yes. Does it matter for Vue? No.
• Is a Mac more elegant than a PC? Maybe. Is that relevant for Vue? No!
• Is a Mac more expensive than an equivalent PC? Yes!! I just went to Apple store and saw the base price for an 8 core was $3299 (with only 6GB). That's just crazy. You could buy a small PC render farm for that price.
• Can a Mac run Windows? Yes. But if we run Windows+Vue on a Mac we actually ended up buying two operating systems: OS X (that we never use) and Windows. Does this sound like good business logic? No.
