Tell us what else they are doing, then. Michael Glasser has no idea what Apple is doing because he can't even afford an Apple device. The last one he used was shipped to him from Europe by an overly generous person called Marek Novotny.

You are saying that this actually happened? I've read similar posts in a few places but I was not sure it really happened, not that it would surprise me. Google turns up some information but it seems Marek Novotny is a common name like John Smith. As for Michael Glasser and Apple devices, the U.S. taxpayer is paying for them due to Michael Glasser skimming the government system in various ways including fake disability claims. Michale Glasser has diseases that haven't even been discovered yet. Consider that nobody could work a full time job and still have the time to troll at all hours of the day and night. Michael Glasser also does some minor consulting work on the side ie: off the books, as well. God help any unsuspecting fool who hires Michael Glasser of Prescott Arizona for anything computer related. You *WILL* be sorry. -- Charlie Glock "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms" - Thomas Jefferson 1776

They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

I can imagine being loyal to Apple. After all, even their missteps were relatively minor considering how great their good moves were. Yes, they were about to go bankrupt in the late 90s, but look at how quickly they managed to reverse their fortunes when everything seemed lost. If you were an Apple user since the 1980s and used them exclusively until the current period, there is little room for complaint. At this point, their platform is clearly a lot better than what the competition is offering. At the very least, it is if you are looking for the perfect jack-of-all-trades platform. -- CrudeSausage Islam is poison, leftism is retardation.

There was a series with that same "Give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man." philosophy. It was on the BBC, I think it was called the Up Series, first show was 7 Up, then 14 Up... I think the last episode was 63 Up. -- End Transmission

The education discount argues against that. They aren't going after college students, they're trying for the middle school and up market. Mom has a high end Mac, so Sally gets a $500 Mac just like Mom. Sally isn't doing video editing and is perfectly happy. When her requirements move up do you thing she's going to switch to Windows or Linux? It may or may not work but it's a proven technique. MS used to have a heavy academic discount for Visual Studio. DEC basically gave their machines to the Boston area colleges.

To be completely honest, if they ask for my advice on computer purchases like they have in the past in my school, I will gladly tell them to prioritize the purchase of a MacBook Neo over iPads or Chromebooks. For the price, there is no excuse to go for anything else. With the education pricing, the base unit sells at $679 CAD. -- CrudeSausage Islam is poison

You've already admitted that it looks/feels like an expensive machine. Also the performance is quite adequate for an entry-level machine. There's nothing wrong with offering an entry-level machine. I just don't see your motivation for running it down, from every angle. I'm sure that Apple has done the math on the profits, and will do OK. It's not as if they absolutely need to have a product at this price level. It's certainly no unheard of to osacrifice some profit margin on the low end, to attract customers to your base. -- 'the chances are about 100% a double-talking, "desktop market is FUBAR!" pile of crap like [chrisv] called for govt interference to force retailers to sell Linux systems.' - DumFSck, lying shamelessly
