indicator that you might be a good candidate for a Apple product…concern with outside appearance of a desktop computer
I've actually, remarkably, been extremely magnanimous and helpful in this thread as I oversee a department that buys tens of thousands of dollars in computers annually but at this point I can only assume a fool and his money will soon be parted.
Apple consumer devices (iPads, iPhones) are perfectly fine. Dropping $2k on a computer because its pretty to surf the web is literally taking one's money outside, dousing it in gasoline, and setting it aflame.
Buy 4 iPads and that desktop I outlined if you're so intense on spending $2k on surfing the web – at least then your whole family has stuff to play on PLUS a desired computer.

Well you have given me food for thought…it’s hard to discount it
We bought the kids iPads for Xmas
Maybe I will just buy myself another laptop I can destroy…
I was actually excited about buying an iMac but now I am crushed
Thanks guys!!!

Apple is nothing more than a luxury brand company these days. I never I thought I would see the day where Hutch was pushing for a luxury good and Julian opposed to a luxury good.

Hutch and Space agreeing on many topics was a little shocking too

Which word? Magnanimous means "generous, especially towards a less powerful person".
Helpful?

All I ever wanted was a measly upgrade for the Taiwanese Apple II+ clone my dad bought us in 1983….but that was just too much to hope for…

Hey, as long as we're talking computers here, any insights on getting a kick-ass gaming computer? I'm about to come into some sweet juicy settlement money, and I've decided that this will be my one fun purchase, along with a new dryer.
I have no knowledge of computers and emails and internets and shit, so I'm getting one pre-assembled. But all the varieties of graphics cards is daunting and I'll probably need a lot of memory because I often like to smoke weed.

I like the Lenovo Yoga ThinkPad. Durable, folds into a notepad, and has the nipple.
i've become a fan of Lenovo. i paid something like $1300 for a gaming laptop 2 years ago and the thing runs really fast, the extra warranty was cheap, haven't had a single problem with it.
for your browsing/Word/email needs you could get something in the ThinkCenter or IdeaCenter families of desktops (including some all-in-one models where the guts of the computer are behind the monitor).

let's give Jules his due: despite his known dislike for hutch, he went out of his way to help him. seems relatively magnanimous to me.

what I don't understand is…did he turn off his 'hutch-block' to help?
this defination helps
magnanimous - adjective
If you are magnanimous, you behave kindly and generously toward someone, especially after defeating them or being treated badly by them.
