Absolutely. Most people don't know any better and Best Buy ain't gonna turn customers away. Goes back to the comment about software being partly to blame for planned obsolescence. Macs are like that too, aren't they? I heard when you needed an upgrade, you had to get a new device. I think Apple might be mostly responsible for the 'disposable phones' syndrome. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
