Buy flexibility, not a team identity · Proposed air date:

A future math and science teacher approaches a laptop purchase as a choice between opposing Windows and Mac camps. Dr. Dave rejects prejudice in either direction and recommends maximizing options that may matter a year later. He explains that the show mocks people whose identity depends on a brand, not the computers themselves, and tells the caller to make a rational rather than emotional decision.
