I cannot accept this. If anyone remembers the days when the Apple was new and
fabulous and upper-case-only, you'll remember that buying from Apple meant
confidence in the product, and its future. People felt good about Apple. They
represented a new technology run by people motivated by excitement and
curiosity. These people didn't screw customers over. This is why users have a
right to complain about the lack of a gs+. This isn't IBM or General Motors.
This is supposed to be Apple computer, and in the past, they didn't do this kind
of thing.
