[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3238453, member: 29706"] I have no qualms saying I can't stand Apple. IMHO you pay a premium to be told what to like and be limited in how you use it and potentially even make repairs. If you like their product it's your choice, same as your choice to buy a Ford vs a Honda or a Mercedes. I like the ability to do most anything I want with a device up to and including making changes in the OS and for computers making upgrades as I see fit. But seeing the below video may make you think twice about what you will go for. [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]o2_SZ4tfLns[/MEDIA] [/CENTER] The bad thing is that a lot of stuff is also going this route. One that a lot of rural people will have heard is John Deere and the inability to troubleshoot and repair. I loved the analogy used in the video though about buying aftermarket tires and having your car suddenly stop working. It's time to start talking with wallets here the billion dollar repair business that the manufacturers are creating is going too far. [/QUOTE]
