>mere mortals that think of themselves as possibly being creative one day buy Apple in part because that is what the creative professionals use. The fact they get no further than 'Crazy Birds' on their iPad Air is neither here or there.
I keep hearing this sentiment bandied around but I have seen no evidence of it in real life. Most of the "mere mortals" I know that use macs don't make any pretensions beyond "its much nicer and I can afford it." Nobody is saying to me "I bought it because I fantasise that one day I'll run a recording studio from it." And who on earth buys iPhones and iPads to be "creative?" What a load of nonsense.
