14. At least you completely don't fucking get it.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THROW AWAY. I bought this shit, most of it back when Apple manufactured its stuff in Ireland and Malaysia. The MAC version of the Adobe Suite is bought and paid for. You fucking "anti-elitist" douche bags think I should go toss it all in the dumpster and head to the thrift shop and build my own piece of shit geek machine. You're just as stupid as those you rail against. I own this stuff...I can toss it all in the dumpster tomorrow...and Apple's stock will still be up another ten bucks by Friday.

Seriously. Deadly serious...WHAT THE FUCK do you want current owners of Apple products to do? We're in AT&T contracts, we have software and hardware investments. YOU can toss your POS computer in the dumpster any day you want, because you only paid $29 for it, and built it out of old toaster parts and Q-tips and bailing wire, and you're such a total geek that you programmed the Q-tips yourself. But what do REAL people do? What do actual owners of these products do just to pay homage to your total geekness and fake outrage (I say fake, because you hated Apple long before you found out Foxconn -- who also makes most of the cheap components in your cludge machine, plus your TV and off-brand smart phone -- manufactures iPads)?
