How many Apple products does your household own?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Spot on. For virtually everything they sell, there's a superior competitors product which costs less money.

At least 10.

Straight in at number 1. Well done fella.

I can see what you've done there. Brilliant.

I think it would be a relatively accurate indicator of how hard a family is going to be hit by the spending review in these times of austerity...

- Less than 1 Apple device per family member - bad times ahead.
- More than 1 Apple device per family member - let the good times roll.

Hows that relevant in any way?

Were you not here a few months ago?

When there was the ol' Apple (it's shit/it's amazing) debate rumbling on we all agreed we were iTwats and proud of it.

For all those who think there is a better cheaper alternative to apple products, can someone recommend a cheaper better alternative to an iPad, I really want one but if there is a cheaper better alternative i might look into that. No a netbook is not a cheaper better alternative, I already have one of them.

I was thinking along the lines of bad judgement.

I see. So you don't actually have a constructive point to make regarding what I said, you're just going to be mildly abusive based on my like of 80s prog rock?

The same is true of my Calvin Klein pants, there are superior competitors products much cheaper, but by god I still part with a £10 per pair!

Thing is we've had this debate a million times and it never gets anywhere, no one's views change one iota. Is there any point? You don't like Apple products, we think they're the dogs.

crap, forgot about my time capule! (which is the genius of it I guess) and my almost obsolete ibook which my 6 yr old uses...that puts me up to 8. What an iTwat.

Okay, sorry. Each to their own, if you like men in capes playing keyboards this is fine with me.
