Hi everyone, Thanks Matt for pointing out this Web address. After reading the article my worst fears were confirmed. It's been some time now that I have been observing the way Apple was going about its business. And yes, it does appear to me that they are emulating M$ by slowly strangulating 3rd party manufacturers/software producers.
I have a suggestion for Apple: Use a boa constrictor symbol for their next version of the Mac OS instead of the usual feline characters. That would seem more appropriate. Maybe they are becoming a bit too successful, and hence the 'cocky' attitude? I intend purchasing a lap-top sometimes in late November, and my initial thought was for a MacBook, of course, but little by little my allegiance to Apple is being fritted-away. First was the purchase of a third-party mouse which is more reliable that the mighty-mouse I purchased less that 1 year ago and used for less than 3 months. That was the first time ever I purchased a non-Apple device when there is availabe an Apple one! And now comes my questioning of the lap-top brand .... Just hoping I do not fall on the dark side - may the force be with me!! Have a nice week-end all! Philippe C. Peter H., I have not forgotten you and will respond privately once I have determined what exactly I can do. Whatever it is will be on a totally voluntary basis though. on 21/9/07 7:26 PM, Matthew Healey at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/customers-ask-is- > apple-going-rotten/ > > The short version, is that Apple purposefully broke a LOT of third > party accessories so as to force users to purchase Apple branded > replacements.
