...let me rephrase that. I frequently am quite surprised by how poor some people are who still manage to sport the latest iPhone at all times. Conversely, a small amount of money or even no money at all and a dumpster find will get you surprisingly far, when it comes to having your basic computational needs met. The world is more complicated than a bunch of stereotypes. "Someone who thinks of sharing of computers as rare, must be rich and conceited" is not a good model of the world. "Someone who is poor must be spending too much money on iPhones" is not a good model of the world either. (One reading of what I wrote would be this, but it's not what I meant to imply).
