Apple is ok, but you are forgetting, IBM pulled out of the PC business
because of all the clones, they figured since they were losing money because
of those clones that they didn't need to worry about it..
Also Apple has made many many revisions on one type of computer, how many 
people want to have a computer that they use for a while, then in order to
keep up with the newer stuff you need to put out a lot of money, I have an
Apple //c and wanted to find out how much I would need to trade it in to get
the //c+ (which is one thing I have said) I would have to come up with $600 
which I could get a pc clone or I could buy an Atari ST system (which I have
and hasn't changed all of that much since they first came out..)
I like Apple, but I would rather see them slow down on the revisions so that 
people don't have to keep spending money and more money on something that keeps
getting upgraded...
I will support Apple if someone cuts it down, but I will also support Atari
and IBM..
         Later...
