    It's an operating system, not a religion. Quit treating it as such.

    Since you missed the complete idea of anything I have offered and nothing constructive I hope an op can close this thread as it is obviously going nowhere fast.

    You fail to accept logic as a valid argument.

    And you lose your argument so you ask for it to be closed? That says a lot.

    It's not a religion, but like everything about branding, it's about making you feel belong to a community of like-minded people, even if you don't know them.

    And most Mac users keep their boxes in pristine condition. If not for the love of boxes, then because it has a resale value. People pay more for used Macs in original box than without.

    And talking aobut OS/Religions, my friend bought a used Macbook from someone who would only touch his Macs while wearing gloves.

    So you want to turn it into a corporation?

    And before this thread is closed, while I don't share the sentiments, I can see that this is done by other projects, and not just in the OS world.

    And even if you disagree, there are better ways to do it, without showing disrespect to the OP and trying to make them feel stupid.

    Just a thought. If you disagree, feel free to make me feel stupid.

    I'm a mac owner myself but I didn't get one for the image of it, but that's off-topic.
