I'm not sure how you could arrange that idiotic metaphor to persuade your dad to agree to buy you a MacBook Pro, but I have a few decent ideas...

• Working on a Mac is much quicker (i.e Changing your IP address on a Mac is as simple as clicking 3 buttons, on Windows, you have to go through about 50 menus and windows just to change your IP)
• We all know modern PCs ship with Windows Vista, and any person, ANY would say it is the most buggiest OS ever.
• On a Notebook/Netbook, the average battery life is around 45 mins, on a MacBook Pro, around 7 hours.
• Macs can be used for almost anything, the power inside those machines will be adequate for anything, and OS X takes FULL advantage of all the hardware. On a PC, the OS does definately NOT take advantage of the hardware.
• When plugging in a Plug and Play device on Vista, there is 80% chance that Vista will not properly install the drivers, or will not have support for them, on a Mac, it's instant Plug and Play, and if it says "Mac Supported" on the box, It will work, no doubt.
• Many companies are switching to developing (hardware support and software) on Macs, as it is just SOO easy.
• The standard applications for Mac (iLife, iWork ect) are MUCH more professional than anything that ships standard on Windows.

I hope these points reach your dad.
