Not only that but apple has already testified they were contractedly obligated to fix those holes.

Lastly competitors used hacks and bugs in fair play to provide compatibility. By blocking competitors he was bug fixing too.

Lastly why didn't Microsoft's play for sure work with non Microsoft products?

Waste.

Keurigs one selling point is that only coffee that is wanted gets made(baring people who toss it after it gets cold). I can't tell you the number of pots of coffee I made that I have thrown out. Probably around 30%. The k cups allow only coffee that is desired to be made at the cost of extra plastic waste. Bonus you can get increased variations of coffee. ao different people can get the different flavors they want including hot chocolates and teas for those who don't drink coffee.

You can't do that with just any coffee maker easily.

Ah but can you convince people to do it. We purchased enough monitors to give everyone two 1920x1040 21" monitors.

Only two of us allowed them on our desks. The rest don't want bigger or more displays. We can't convince them of what they can do. One is still running. 17" 1280x1024 as she doesn't want bigger. Even if those same people have a laptop open and a desktop going at the same time. They don't believe us. The other difference the two that said yes are under 40. The rest are over 50.

That said I run both in landscape. Outlook and excel function much better in giant landscape mode. So do most browsers. The PDFs I open work better in portrait but I can adjust the zoom to read and scroll as little as possible. The main ERP software is made for 1280x1024 so I have that in a window behind everything.

Apple supports hardware for 1 year standard warranty. No extra money spent. Heck I got apple to replace a logic board for free without an extended warranty. 2 .7 years after I bought it.

Not getting your drive fixed is your fault not Apples

Same goes for the hard drive. Apple would have replaced it for you.

I was reading the lord of the rings all three volumes by age 10. Annually between Christmas and New Years. Every year for 6 years

I considered it a light holiday break reading.

Some of us were given books as kids. That said I have never read war and peace. For me the writing style matters as much as the subject. If the writing style is boring to me I just can't get through it. Where as if I enjoy it I can read through a hundred pages an hour. Doing the typical mass market paper back of 300 pages in an afternoon in front of the fireplace.
