But how many others have your skill set to get in there, replace the hard drive, power supply, RAM, or for goodness sakes, - the main board?Not to mention, the Mac Mini's POS USB bus.
""Straman argument: "In its simplest definition, it's the name of a logical fallacy, which means that if you carefully dissect the argument or statement, it doesn't make sense."""
Yeah, - that is the simplest definition, but it is not nearly the best. A straw man argument is DISTORTING, CHANGING, or MIS-CHARACTERIZING the argument in order to make it easily defeatable.
This is incredibly similar to your accusation of Payola amongst reviewers who preferred network digital file players.
What happens if your AMPLIFIER "appliance" (LOL), - breaks? Or, one's CD transport motor fails?
In addition to your Straw Man, - you doubled down, - and added Troll.
You have your solution, you like it: why go out of your way to "attack?"
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
