My reasons and opinions are based on over 25 years in the tech field. I gave you enough facts, if you have any tech experience evaluating, selecting, buying, maintaining and replacing tech products. I did not mean that support will disappear very soon from these vendors. I am sure MS and Apple will back up these consumer products if one buys the support. It is self-evident that most products are viable for longer periods of time if selected earlier in their lifecycles. Those are my facts.
Laptops have done little, from my point of view, on new technology. I am waiting for some change (and a few reviews) before I buy. For many of the reasons stated above. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I never said I was attacked. I'm just weary of the left handed insults. How about more explanation instead of dismissals? Your reasons for not buying an ipod, that it won't be supported isn't proven out by facts. When pressed we get that questioning your view is half baked. Could have just said why you suddenly think support for HD based players is going to vanish. I also asked what you were waiting for in the laptop arena? What is keeping you out, what would make you go in? A new tech that will soon be integrated? Or just that laptops have been stagnate for years except for the common line of bigger/better but nothing *new* ? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
