Do you think a high percentage of mac users approve of or partake in the consumption (edibles/vape/smoking) of the lovely cannabis plant (if you live in an area where you legally can) ;)
I'm Cheech and you're Chong
Don't partake, but don't look down upon it
You don't approve
I think everyone knows my vote and I will attach a copy of how this post started lmao.

This is very hypothetical but, what would happen if Apple was to weigh it's options and decide to axe the idea of personal computers.
The discontinuation of the Mini, iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, and Macbook Pro lines FOREVER. The plan could be to try and remove the want of them in the first place so they could make less and less of them and finally none. It starts with someone having a desktop and a laptop, the laptops become fast enough that you can't justify NEEDING a desktop.
The next step is the Laptop vs Slate/Tablet/Whatever, in a few years they will be fast enough that people would think well I can do whatever I need on this Slate/Tablet/Whatever that do I need a laptop anymore? I'm guessing that it will be yes, because by then you will have your Slate/Tablet/Whatever and it will be connecting wirelessly with your monitor and peripherals to where it will basically be why have a smartphone anymore, lets just make this tablet even smaller and all the heavy lifting can be done with the Slate/Tablet/Whatever...
That is just until the speed/price/size of those very advanced smart phones that will have all the capabilities of the home users tablet/slate/device so then it goes.. Hmmm, why have a tablet when I have a smart phone that can do it all (basically carry it in your pocket set it on your desk and use wireless technology to connect to your peripherals and monitor.
Eventually it will start to devolve to a point where we can no longer communicate, because we are all obsessed in seeing some new crappy thing come out that most likely won't do what it says it does. Get people to somehow buy it and LOVE IT.
