In reply to the discussion: STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Tuesday, 24 January 2012 [View all]Tansy_Gold
(17,860 posts)61. This is just one of many reasons why I have refused to buy Apple products
and refused as best I can even to use them.
Apple has been notorious for this since the beginning. it nearly did them in back in the day when the PC clones were proliferating and virtually all the software was being written for that platform.
When I took a video-editing class, we were more or less required to use the Macs in the classroom, but there was one PC and I found software that would do ANYTHING the Mac would do, do it better and easier and quicker. Even the instructor was surprised, with one of those, "I didn't know anything like this was out there!" comments. The software cost $11.
Fuck Apple, the greedy fucking wankers.
