Absolutely!! When I first saw a PTCruiser, I HAD to have one. I fell in love with it. Don't know why ... it reminded me of the 1930s and gangster movies, I guess. But, it doesn't matter to me that DG didn't (doesn't) like them ... personal taste is PERSONAL.
If someone doesn't like my taste in something ... I will tell them what I always tell people who don't like something that I like .... If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple solution.
One of my best friends hates chocolate. She just hates it. I can't understand it, but she does. So, when she tells me that she doesn't want any of the fine brownies I made ... I don't take it personally. If they were the greatest brownies on the planet, she still wouldn't like them.
People who don't like the Kindle ... for whatever reason ... are making a judgement that is personal to them. I do not question it ... I just don't think they should try and argue me out of my love for the thing, and I don't think they should buy one. Both options are just plain stupid.
