People who use trucks regularly do the same thing. I know when I worked in the oil industry everyone was hoping they wouldn't get stuck with the ford truck.

Just because Apple's got the most expensive tools, doesn't make them the best.

If the XDR monitor's specs hold out, it will actually be an order of magnitude cheaper than its existing competitors... which makes the other nickel-and-diming around stuff like the monitor stand and the Mac Pro base storage even weirder.

Yeah, when I was in the oil business, I think literally everyone in our sub sea shop had the same model of pickup. Don't remember what it was; it was a long time ago.

What's was the truck that people preferred?

Yep always the Toyotas. We had one in the yard that wasn't street legal any more, the thing was basically a shell of a truck with 700,000 km on it, no hood, whole exterior was just trashed, but it ran beautifully so they kept using it.

I've always heard it was the Tacoma.
