Not meaning to insult you Emanuel, but generally I find people who
drive Porches as having a serious pathological need to satisfy a big
ego. Or they're lacking a little something. ;-)
The fact that my brother fits that profile--and clearly needs his
ego stroked because even after he swore off of Porches, he still had to go
back to 'em--doesn't help my impression any!
I can't help but think of Porsches as glorified Volkswagens.
But in more general terms, if you mean an appreciation for quality
engineering unifies and correlates with ThinkPad owners, I can agree with that.
