Yes. The dopes want $400 to add a drive to a laptop that doesn't even
write, and doesn't have more than $50 worth of manufacturing cost behind
it.

The whole industry is trying to capitalize on early adopters they way
that Apple has capitalized on all the IPUD retards out there.

Apple has always wanted far too much for far too little.

Their 30" display is a perfect example It is old technology, low
contrast ratio, and slower than molasses. Yet they want twice as much
for it as modern displays with FPDs in them that are more than twice as
good.

A perfect example of the same kind of hype that a company like BOSE or
Monster Cable wants you to believe. To me, it is LESS for MORE.

I ain't buying it. Then, the AppleTards went x86, and they are STILL
trying to get folks to pay double price for their CRAP.

Some of us actually know how to step back and look at what is out there
and see when a company is trying to dupe its customers, and perspective
customers into thinking they are getting some kind of vastly superior
product.
