[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1615508, member: 56379"] I don't really think that we've hit this point yet. When it comes to Apple computers…it is really more about the experience with the Mac OS…not really with the hardware (other than the hardware being very stable compared to the mish-mash of parts in a typical Windows computer). If someone is happy with their hardware (amount of ram & amount of storage) which they absolutely should be when the first buy the computer…then they really don't give a hoot 99.9% of the time they are using the computer. 99.9% of the time that they are using the computer…they're interacting with the Mac OS. It's only if their situation changes…and they need more ram or storage space…when the non-upgradeability is a sore point. But…folks should really be aware this when they buy the computer…and that's why they NEED to configure the computer with future needs in mind. Then there's no regret or "soreness" later on.:) I agree…upgradeability is nice. But many many many users don't upgrade (the percent of folks who actually do this sort of upgrading is a lot fewer than you would think)…especially Apple computer owners. The average Apple computer owner doesn't "tinker" with their computer nearly as much as the average Windows computer owner. And even a lot of Windows computer owners don't do much "tinkering". And when they reach the point of needing to upgrade…the computer is probably 3-4 years old…and they want a newer & faster one anyway.:) - Nick p.s. All someone needs to do is look at Apple's stock price, quarterly reports, and annual reports…to know there's no problem with Apple and their customers!:) [/QUOTE]
