Apple devices stopped looking appealing to me when people around me started getting them and I found out how much control Apple has over what people do with their devices, especially i-devices, iPod, iPad, iPhone, etc. And now that they have brought their twisted concept of an app store to MacOS, they will start controlling desktops and notebooks in the same way most likely. Heck, even Microsoft doesn't try to take so much control of a computer as Apple does.
(snip) For me it was that, and the fact Apple has a ridiculous markup on products that bring less features and capability. I never bought into the iPhone hype, finding I could do more with my ancient Treo and now, my Droid. The macs are a disgrace. Why should mid-range PCs be priced like top-of-the- line gaming rigs?
