I love my iMac not because if any brand cachet, but I program a lot and love crisp typography on the screen. It is quite simple, you don't have to buy one, no it isn't a gaming machine. No reason to fuck Apple about it.
They do seem to still have a monopoly on decent track pads, perhaps we should get the FTC and DOJ involved :).
Yes, I would do anything for a better trackpad!
