My thread was meant as a joke. macbores tell you that apple make computers. 
Until  they don't work. The keyboard packs up, the touch screen doesn't work, 
the ñ doesn't work, none of the tildes work  In guarantee a guy has to be 
shipped in from Madrid  to fix it in Alicante.(that's 500Km for US users)  
Then they give him a whole new computer and take the old one away. Then the 
next day 's' doesn't work and the mouse doesn't click. Great system. At least 
W7 has a helpline.
