Yeah, Gilroy garlic and Monterrey clam chowder are some of my favs from your
part of the world.

I love apples.
As long as they're not from Cupertino...

Apples, (black)Lincolns and Birkenstocks are for rich liberal democrats.

Republican boys like to date democrat girls but marry republican girls

Democrat girls like to date democrat boys but they are all too poor and
stoned and majoring in liberal arts or political science.
Republican girls just run around with each other getting drunk until some
republican boy sobers up enough to ask them for marriage.
Poor republican boys get reality shows involving guns, mud, moonshine and
wrestling animals in a swamp.
Poor democrat boys wear shirts with political causes printed on them, hang
out with Goth cutter girls and smoke cigarettes.
Give a republican boy a welder and he will make a swamp buggy out of an
old VW.
Give a democrat boy a welder and he will turn it into an objet d'art
symbolizing the military industrial oppression of the worker.
And that is why there are so many apple haters here...

I buy all of my groceries at Walmart and most of my electronics at apple.
There are a lot of apple haters on here it seems.
I can walk a customer through setting up their AirPort Extreme a lot
easier than Asus, netgear, or dlink. The Apple interface never changes.
It's the same for every model. The others change their gui quite
frequently.
Thank you,

I remember telling a customer he should either learn how to configure his
AirPort himself, get AppleCare, or get a regular router like a Linksys or
Netgear with a web GUI if he expected his ISP to provide step-by-step
phone support.
He said he would go out and buy a non-Apple router.
He came back with a TimeMachine.
That's another thing I hate about Apple, they have to use special names
for ordinary things, so people don't compare prices. So you don't have a
router, you have an AirPort. You don't have an external hard drive, you
have a TimeMachine.
But just like some people only shop at WalMart, some people only shop for
electronics at the Apple Store. Probably the same people who buy all
their groceries at Whole Foods.

No doubt.
The least they could do is to give it a web GUI. Beyond me why it has to
be some proprietary interface.

Plus, for reasons that are not clear to me, Apple has to change the way
the stupid AirPort admin tool works every month or two. So even if you
knew how to set it up in August; come September it's a whole new ball

Software developers need to do something.
