>This sucks, when iTools came out it was promised as free email for life. I don't use the rest of the features, of iTools. I just wanted an email address that I would never have to change, no matter where I move. Now they think that I am gonna pay $100 for that service? I could get a ISP for that price with 5 email accounts.
Did you even visit the Article Discussion forums, or even the front page of the site, for this issue? Apple MIGHT give back free email privilages.
>I have bought a top of the line powermac every year for the past 4 years and this year I bought a powerbook 667 in addition to the dual 1ghz powermac. I like macs, but Apple is getting greedier and greedier every year.
WTF are you talking about? How is Apple greedy? The economy is on a recession. Do you think that other companies aren't going to charge higher prices to get back in the flow of the market?
>They also want us to pay $130 for a very minor upgrade to OS-X!
That is that biggest ucked up lie I have heard in 24 hours. 10.1 to 10.2 is NOT, I repeat, NOT a very minor upgrade. Apple busted their ashes to try and perfect the OS. They added all these features and, basically, sold their efforts to do everything they can to make this the BEST OS there is. Would you feel any different if Jaguar was OS 11? Because if you do, then you have some problems.
>OS-X doesn't even work right as it is.
Elaborate. I'd like to hear this...
>Never mind the fact you have to go out and buy all new software for it. At least windows XP runs Windows 98 programs, fo rthe most part without a problem.
>...fo rthe most part...
Interesting how you should mention that. How many errors do you get with OS X? How many have you gotten with heXPee? Do you even realize how much OS X has improved and how damn stable it is compared to Windoze? I don't think you do.
>Classic mode is a joke for processor intensive applications!
If you don't like it, don't use it. Use Photoshop 7 and OS X.
>I own a video production company, and for the first time, in 5 years I am seriously think about switching to PC's only!
You are going to regret it dearly.
>-A pissed off customer
Why exactly are you so uptight? Is this because you were expecting a cheap upgrade? Because you were expecting new PowerMacs? Because you expect everything to go your way? No. Apple does their things the right way, especially nowadays.
Do you really expect Apple to have updates after a certain amount of months? Look back to the Macs released after the San Fransisco Expo. Were you guys THAT disappointed? No. You were all happy. So what makes you think Apple won't do it again...make you happy?
So, plain and simple, if you are patient, you will be rewarded. If you are not patient and are not rewarded you are screwing yourself right to the
. Apple knows EXACTLY what they are doing with these Expos. If they didn't, then why would there even be one? Apple has their PowerMacs just about ready for a few weeks time, but other buisness has to be pertained to first. That buisness is what you just saw at the NY Expo.
Again, you cannot keep expecting a new PowerMac to come out at an Expo. But you can expect a very satisfying update. Expect the best in the PowerMac falling under reason, and you most likely will get it. But these things do in fact happen at appropriate moments. I say this because there was plenty of other stuff at NY you could have seen, especially the iMac.
So don't expect everything to go your way, but expect everything to go the right way. As Apple's logo even states: "Think different."
