Tsk's Journal: Apple and it's users

I've been using Apple computers since 1982 with the Apple II. I bought My First Macintosh 2,5 years ago. I installed various version of os X on it and got forced into the free itools.
I'm a bit pissed of on the .mac affair and will upgrade but I do not like it. I willl because I use my @mac.com and homepage addresses.
To pay for the OS is not yet an habbit in Mac and I remember the days of system 6.x when you'd walk into the store with foppies and they would copy the new systems for U. Nowdays you have to pay which make me say that all the iApps are not that Free, you need to pay the OS, and then when you download, you the one paying something.
