Hmmm not really it is more of a mantra than a rant. If you are happy  
shelling out a few thousand every time Steve & company  want to make  
another billion go right ahead and I will stay with items that work  
and and keep the money for myself. You are being robbed blind and if  
you do not know that Steve & company are your perfect pairing.
