Exactly. If I replaced my current Mac Pro tower sitting under my desk
with a new Mac Pro sitting on top of my desk, I wouldn't need any
additional peripherals either, since I don't keep additional hard drives
installed inside of it, and I don't have any PCI cards installed. And I
know this applies to many people out there.

Which is bullshit for many professionals, since many already have such
peripherals, and many don't need them.

I just call him what he is: a troll.
