But how much does the timing of the blinking light add to the cost of a macbook? Would it cost $10 less if it pulsed 40 beats/minutes like a Dell? Of course not. Maybe only Cornell students like yourself can afford such false dichotomy. By the way, did you know that the difference in annual tuition between Cornell and an excellent public school like the University of Michigan is three years salary for a middle class person in someplace like Mumbia, India? Is an Ivy League education really a requirement?
