It's a horrid one to choose, yet you would stand up for it if some ricer were to bash it.

Simple answers: I build my own pc's. I don't need to line up somewhere as I'll go on Tigerdirect, Newegg, Directron, or go down to the local shop and pick up my parts, and make my computer be specifically what I want it to be. No need to wait for an aging hippy to release a new (old) computer for me to get something better.

As for bias - of course I'll be biased! When I buy electronics I want the best bang for the buck I can get at the time of purchase. Apple may have many things, but best value for mid to high end products has never been one of them, thus I'm not their customer. Just as you are biased towards their products because you feel there is some sort of value for your dollar there.

As for our cars - I'll tell anyone straight up they are pieces of shit most the time. I'll then ask them what their car runs in the 1/4 and see who's faster.
