There's a bit more to it than you morons can conjure, eh?

I am still a desktop guy but my wife is a road warrior with a mobile
something or two all the time. The thing that is significant about
Apple is the price never drops and they advance in baby steps.
Even my German friend (remember the conversation that ended in me
being a hobbyist) has started to think that the rigid architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't want to know he
had a computer.

I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding edge" desktop machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those concerns faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of their cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras.
