Nice one! I laughed. Although I do not own ThinkPenguin or Apple hardware, for me personally it is the other way around. Apple's devices are crap for two reasons. One, they are designed in mind and shipped with proprietary software and it is not certain is it going to work with free OS, although some work. Two, I consider Apple's hardware ridiculously overpriced. At least it was this way in the past, I haven't checked lately. I think it is all related to marketing and branding. After all Apple is a well recognisable and marketed brand, which is the reason it is so popular. The fact that all (most?) hardware is similar inside or at least produced in the same factories in Asia, does not occur to people. It also could be that ThinkPenguin is not yet (?) recognisable, and people see it as a second class product. Just because they haven't heard of it, or they are not familiar enough with it. Hope my thoughts help somehow.
