I've been an Apple Owner/User since 1982. I have purchased a couple hundred in various jobs. I just bought my 7th (personal) Apple computer, the brand spankin' new iBook 700 at the Apple Store in Danvers, MA in early June, despite it being a G3, on the promise that when Jaguar came out in the late summer, as a free upgrade it would really scream... I guess I'm the one who'll have to scream. $130 for an incremental OS Upgrade on a machine I haven't even had for two months!!! I'll also be dropping my iTools account. Although I never found it to be much use at all, I thought it showed some support for Apple. Switch? It looks more like Bait and Switch! Why does the coolest hardware and software company always shoot themselves in the foot and slap their loyalists in the face? More and more I think instead of Apple loyalists, we should be called Apple co-dependant enablers. If I had a family member or friend who behaved like this, I'd have an intervention and send them to a treatment center. If that didn't work, I'd have to, regretfully, cut them out of my life. It's time for an intervention for Steve Jobs. If it doesn't work, I think its time for tough love. MS here I come... © 2002-2008 Rob Falk, All Rights Reserved. All Wrongs Denied.
