…I am forced to unpack another piece of cheap plastic crap from Dell at work, I am reminded how Dell is not—and will never be—Apple. Dell equipment arrives in standard brown corrugated cardboard boxes with dozens of twist ties and styrofoam inserts that shed bits of themselves all over everything the minute they're removed. Compare that to the simple, elegant beauty of Apple's packaging.
Yeah, but unwrapping a PC is like white trash Christmas! Box after box, tie and bag and rubberband after foam or cardboard corner. . . Yeah, you've got me on this one. But then again, I LOVE assembling crap, so I take some delight in the excess.
