Of course you are both right, Rex and John, I am also one of those who is running around promoting Apple. My husband tells my friends that I am getting a commission from Apple the way I tell everybody to buy Macs. -And yet, there is something ultimately wrong with the prevailing attitude in our country ,( having been brainwashed by the advertising Companies) that we feel the necessity to get a bargain, foregoing smaller businesses who can't compete in that market etc. etc. etc. But that goes into the whole philosophy of whether we want to allow the dog eats dog market attitude control our total life and goes far beyond this Macgroup's purpose.
