Cherree I have to agree with Ricardo and others. I'm not totally sure what
you're talking about here, but I think you're getting to head up. I have to

Hi,
Generally, I agree with you. I think for the most part, Apple does what you

Quite honestly, as I said and will continue to say, I think Apple should be
commended on their efforts. It's not perfect what what is. Some people just
have too much time on their hands and all they want to do is bash people and
businesses. Frankly, I think those should be ashamed. I'm not s
It is interesting to me the way this post has turned. I wanted peoples opinions

list actually contains.

I have to respectfully disagree. When I look at Mac OSx, windows XP seven or

Is anyone else feeling a little sad about the iOS eco-system since release in
October. Don't get me wrong, there will always be issues. However Apple has had
so many issues.
