I have to say this was one of the worst/most confusing analogies I've read in a tech article:

"But those customers got tired of using the computing equivalent of a space shuttle to go shopping at the grocery store."

Uhh, doesn't the space shuttle run 386's?

I was going to be snarky and ask,"Do you use a 386 to go shopping at the grocery store?" but then realized I use an Apple A4/Cortex-A8 to go shopping at the grocery store. (Never mind whatever is embedded in my car.)

I think I'm going to steal that analogy anyway, because I love baffling metaphors. The nice thing would be using the Canadarm to put things in your cart, especially heavy items such as cat litter and gallons of milk.
