   Kinda agreed ... but SOME don't Get It.

   M$ is a DISASTER of an OS. Apple, well, it's
   JUST as greedy. It now plans to "lease" iPhones
   and such - you NEVER own one, can NEVER pay
   them off, NEVER quit. $$$ for Apple FOREVER now
   matter HOW shitty they get.

   Long long back, Bill Gates/M$ were sort of HEROES.
   DOS 1.x/2.x/3.x were GOOD for the period and M$
   wasn't all twisted about you copying their stuff
   or compilers and such.

   And then it all went SO BAD ...

   At some point soon I'm gonna need to buy a
   half-ass big-screen "phone". HATE 'em. Keep
   a little FLIP as my mobile now. My carrier is
   not gonna support my great old landline much
   longer - they've already raised the PRICE
   insanely, hoping I'll quit. Clue, I'm NOT
   gonna buy the new crap-phone from THEM - but
   from another. Pref Android. Samsung phones
   are gonna be IT.
