Levenger Analogy - Your thoughts?
Scott Elias | Feb 2 2007
I'm a bit envious. My mom who lives in South Florida is going the Levenger store today. I turned her on to the Circa system and showed her Doug's reviews at DIYPlanner so she's going to check things out. When she asked me what was so special about Levenger's stuff, the best I could come up with was this: Levenger is to low-tech as Apple is to high-tech. Sure, I'm an unapologetic Apple fanboy, but it does make sense. It may cost a little bit more, but you're getting superior quality and attention to detail. So what do you think? The above is my opinion only - please let's not have any Mac bashing... 8 Comments

Not Mac-bashing (too much) but there is quite an important difference, IMO. While both aim at the "high quality" and "nice to use" objectives, Apple tries to control the entire user experience quite precisely, whereas Levenger provides tools to use as you will in a wider context. The former can be great if you like what they provide and don't want to have to think about it too much. Personally, I prefer the latter approach, as a "feature" I can't control/configure can often become extremely irritating to me. (I use Linux and BSD Unix, as it happens.) There is also a difference in relative expense: although a Mac is generally more expensive than a PC (for a given systems spec) the difference between generic stationery products and Levenger stuff is (I think) proportionally much greater. Thus I think that Levenger vs generic is much more of a luxury than Mac vs PC. Not that any of this is particularly useful; just a mildly interesting subject ;-) aef » POSTED IN:
