    With respect, is there evidence to support your claim? My direct experience is that I have received value far in excess of what I have had to pay for the Apple products and services I have purchased over the years. For example, I'm typing this reply on my PowerBook, which I use all day, every day in my work. I also have my iPhone with me constantly, and use it heavily. Finally, the Apple brand was said to be worth about $104.7B vs. $62.8B for Microsoft in 2014. [1] So, I am not saying you are wrong, only that I think some evidence would be helpful in making your case.

      OT, but you're still using a Powerbook? That's pretty impressive. Which generation\year was it? I'm guessing you've had to swap out batteries and upgrade hard drive - have you had to modify anything else?

        Sorry, my mistake. It's a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. 16GB DDR and 512GB SSD. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP694 http://support.apple.com/kb/SP694

        He meant MacBook Pro. That said, I still have an iBook G4 from 2004 in perfect operation for mail/web/music (though one button is missing).
