I started with an Apple IIc. It's beyond me why anyone would own an iPhone today.

  > I started with an Apple IIc. It's beyond me why anyone would own an iPhone today. I started on an Apple ][. As a hacker, I find any business strategy that locks down hardware appaling. But I understand why uninformed consumers would buy this type of hardware.

    Probably because they don’t care. They just want something that is low maintenance and consistently works. I don’t think it has too much to do with being uninformed. I know plenty of informed users that feel the same way.

      They’re not even uniformed. The device perfectly matches what they need and when it doesn’t they have every resource to see what other device does. HM grievances are not reflected of what the general consumer wants.
