now i just feel sorry for you. You have no clue of the REAL world out there.
Yale? Oxford? Princeton? You mean the social elite ? I am sorry but a majority of the army has been paid in blood with the lives of the social poor.

As far intelligence is concerned, you get smart and dumb people like anywhere else.

most smart people want to be paid to jump into a field with a gun.
People are naive and think the government is going to protect them and that they would never lie to them.

Course, many of us know better

lol, i know i make spelling bobo, btw, im talking about the intelligence and people behind the scene's, the infatry and fighters usually consists of kill hungery soldiers, who go through a training program that teaches them to become more violent and crazy, and only smart people come up with such programs, but the army does have very intelligent people in areas that need be. They have very adavnced tactics and technology.

no thanks to bruce fee who never added anything useful at all OT to this thread. I don't get it why one persons bias views goes unpunished why others do?

well, actually, i suggested that all answers would be heavily biased depending on the subculture and communities the poster belonged to.

I didn't bring up the army.

Remember, when you say "green people are smart" the assumption is they are smarter than the "blue and purple"

if every group is just as smart, then no group is smart. it's all comparative.

think about that before commenting on others insulting and being rude. I'm just more blunt with my comments, and 'sometimes' they are meant to push buttons.

I find other people on here far more rude than I.

Here's an idea

Start your own company with say 200 employees

build a MAC ONLY network

come back and tell me how far you got

And I've met at least 2 IT people.

he's just point out that if you see a Michael Jordan wearing dress shoes, it means that his Michael Jordan basketball shoes are garbage.

Sorry, I don't watch sports, and don't know any current athletes with shoes.

ill say again...its all about user experience and not affordability or practicality completely. afterall...why do you pay higher for a designer brand? a similarly priced windows notebook may perhaps do just the same or more than what the apple book does but again.....it doesnt have the appeal and fun factor given the new concept. both will get the job done so what differs them is the user experience.

from what i have experienced....apple's customer service is decent and they take care of issues as they arise. on top of their products having good reliability.
