"1. Apple customers agree to buy broken product more than once."

Nope. Never broken for me. I research what I buy, I know what I buy, and I have been satisfied with everything I have purchased from Apple except that crappy LC back in '93.

"2. Apple customers are still thinking that Apple is open source, I for once agree with the author: APPLE IS BUSSINES"

Don't know what the hell you're talking about. I always knew that Apple wasn't open source and I accurately perceive the benefits/disadvantages of incorporating OSS into proprietary code.

(Do you even know what you are trying to talk about? You do know that Apple goes back to the seventies, right? That most Mac users didn't give a crap about OSS until 2000, right?)

"3. I felt let down. Rejected by a company that I had adored, admired, respected"

I have never felt that Apple or Jobs have any feelings for me. They just happen to make the products I want, have the best philosophy, and I like them. I've never expected or felt they should feel anything in return.


Are you sure you aren't laughing at yourself? These views do not seem typical. They hardly seem stereotypical... hardly rational...

"OSX is still dog slow on machines with specified characteristics."

Nope. No problem running 10.3 on a 400 MHz G3 iMac. It keeps getting faster.

"there's a little life fact that says that people mostly buy cheapest"

No, cheap people buy cheapest. Smart people buy the right product for their needs.

"Even the most selling Apple brand is always the cheapest of the line (do not confuse iBook and Powerbook or iMac and Gx, they are completely different product)"

What are you talking about? There is no proof of this. In fact, what proof there is suggests the oppostite -- frequently the highest end G4s sell out quiker than the low end, same for PBs, etc...

You don't seem to know Apple the company very well at all.
