  Simplicity sells - sounds a bit crazy

  Hello,
  
  Mark Graban has digged out an excellent video at TED (you can read his post at http://www.leanblog.com):
  
  http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/david_pogue_says_simplici...
  
  Do you have an iPod? What made you buy this little piece of electronics?
  
  Couldn't have been the price (there are cheaper ones on the market), or the features (there are other ones with dozens of features). Perhaps the design? Could be partly (at if I would own one, this would be one reason, even though a minor one).
  
  What is the main reason for you?
  
  As I don't own one I just can tell you why I prefer Macs over PCs and that is its:
  
  SIMPLICITY and FLAWLESSLY
  
  Giving me the desired outcome that the machine should provide (without getting the hood off and inviting dear friends to fix the damn problem everyone in the community -even the programmers- know of and yet there is no change in the operating system or program).
  
  I liked the video very much as it shows what LEAN THINKING is capable (the THINKING mainly!)
  
  Best regards
  
  Ralf
