Upgrade Price
Is it higher than I'd like? Yes.
Is it too high for what it delivers? No.
If you're dissatisfied with the cost of the upgrade, don't upgrade! Even better, switch to something p$eudo-free (aka Linux) or to something else that's not free (Windows) and graze on the greener grass for a while.
If you feel that you've somehow been cheated by Apple in the past, you should:
1) Certainly not do business with them in the future
2) Do something constructive to remedy the situation. The following are suggestions:
a) Write a letter to Apple indicating your displeasure. Letters can be very powerful when they are logical and sincere. Don't let your emotions get the best of you.
b) Get together with a lawyer and file a class-action lawsuit. If you and thousands of others have truly been cheated, there is a lawyer (and a judge) out there who would like to help you. Please be sure to specify exactly how you have been cheated. (Warning, this may require thought, logic and reason.)
To say that you're going to steal the upgrade shows the following:
1) You're ignorant
- These groups are not anonymous should someone decide to subpoena...
2) You're ignorant
- Software costs a lot of money to produce and companies have to charge for it should they desire to stay in business.
Taking these two points together, it is clear that you are probably a kid and I can offer the following experience-based advice.
1) Nothing is free
- You're either paying for it in some other way (and often paying more) or the thing will cease to be free because the company that offered it will go out of business.
2) Never spout off in a public forum (or even a private one for that matter) and suggest that you are going to do something illegal, rash, etc. It makes you look ignorant, out-of-control, and in the worst case scenario, you may be held responsible for it.
