Yet Apple comes in number ONE again in customer satisfaction. Despite making lots of iterations of their computer, people are wildly satisfied.

Apple users don't seem to care that their stuff is generally inferior. They really only care that they can keep up with the neighbors by having the latest Apple thingie.

Besides, if someone gets stuck in the Apple trap by buying one Apple thing (like a PC) they're pretty much stuck having to stick with Apple if they want other devices to interact with what they already have.

Not true. Millions of Apple Mac users run Windows on their Macs. I do, when the urge strikes me (not as often as in the past). And lots of non-Apple devices work on the Mac, always have. My first iPod I bought I used exclusively on my Windows PC, but got tired of the hassles of viruses and blue screens of death. True, I was downloading free stuff from suspect sites, but I've never encountered losing control of my Mac like what happens with Windows PC. Macs give a hell of a lot more guaranteed up-time, and the products work very well as an integrated eco-system. So believe the FUD you wish, while others are wildly satisfied.

Not true. I really like Apple because it's so easy to do what I want on it.

I am an early Apple buyer ... over 20 years ago. Not everyone had a computer at that time. A friend of mine at work bought his on the same day as I bought mine. I was up and running on my own in no time. A long story short ... his PC was working in about a week after daily phone calls to tech support. I was making great looking fliers for a group I was in. That was back in the day when you just dropped a font on the Apple HD icon to install. People were in awe since I did not have i very long. Also, met up with a friend online and we decided in my second week to do C-U-See Me from Cornell University. It was so fun teleconferencing back then ... the Japanese universities had the best CU SeeMe sites!!! I joined the Los Angeles MacIntosh Group which then was huge with thousands of members and we had so much fun meeting on weekends and meeting on our BBS. Having an Apple has been wonderful!

Besides, if someone gets stuck in the Microsoft trap by buying one PC thing they’re pretty much stuck having to stick with Microsoft if they want other devices to interact with what they already have.

BS. Microsoft's death screen pissed me off one time too often. I have never had a problem with Apple.
