Well ... perhaps I got that idea because you can't go into most electronics stores and purchase Apple parts. Maybe they are easier to come by than I thought ... I just haven't noticed a lot of Apple PC users tinkering with the insides of their computers. Because ... it was the hardware that I was talking about more than the software with that analogy .... although, do they have a lot of programs out there that let you mess with the OS and default settings??
Like I said ... I got sucked into building my own computers ages ago ... and Apple just wasn't a company that really encouraged that with their products. So, to me ... it's still a pretty car with the hood welded shut ... silly or not.
