Well look, all the points you make are perfectly relevant but only from an Apple corporate perspective. My 1997 Pentium Pro 200 is sitting here today running the latest version of Slackware just fine. My 13 year old Macbook Pro is doing the same thing. So fine, Apple is all about programmed obsolescence. Oh, so they say wait, your 2000 dollar Macbook is five years old? Too bad motherfucker, throw it out and buy a new one! This Macbook is the only Apple product I've ever bought, and I'm certainly never going to buy anything else from Apple. As far as I'm concerned they can take their ridiculous market cap and all their shit products, in particular including anything programmed in that worthless piece of crap language Objective C, and implode themselves in the next OceanGate expedition.
