1) My kids and I can use it and BOTH feel smart.
2) Because they are NOT just another fruit.
3) Because I never have to see a windows logo.
4) Because anything else would be uncivilized.
5) Because they taught me to count
6) Er. Did that last one count?
7) Wait a minute, I'm typing and I can't shut up!
8) Help Help I'm being repressed!
