The PC analogy is a good one...and this is exactly why I moved to Macs after a decade of building and upgrading &quot;Frankenstein&#x27;s monster&quot; PCs at great expense (time and money). With my first Mac I started to treat computers as a means to an end, as opposed to an end in itself. I wanted to start using computers to produce things - graphics, music, websites, apps. I got bored of endlessly tinkering with the hardware itself.<p>High-end Apple computers have always targeted the producer rather than the consumer. I look back to the days of upgrading graphics cards, heatsinks, power supplies etc, and wish that I&#x27;d spent that time honing other skills that would serve me better in later life.
