I do too.  But I think it's especially funny to see the Mac fans knock
the machine that has all the "features" that prompted owners of the
"toaster" macs to buy their machines in the first place.  It's
complete, self-contained, non-expandable, and designed for people
who don't know which way to turn the light bulb when they change it.
In other words, it's aimed at the Macintosh market.  Except that it
doesn't have a 9" screen.
