The key word to describe the Mac line is "minimalistic." (sic) :-) The PCs
on the Intel site are "maximalistic." (and ugly to boot--sorry, but most of
those designs look like designs for the sake of being designs, and with no
real clear-cut goals--well, except for the gills...) :-) Art for the sake of
art is rather pedantic and produces the results you see on that site...
