Well its finally happened.

The last nail was hammered into the coffin and the cadaver rests forever undisturbed inside.

Ok, its a little dramatic, I grant you that but when you are wronged repeatedly you have to say enough is finally enough.

A shop sells you crap, you stop buying. Your train company delays you, you fly or take the bus, Your partner cheats, you leave them.

Apple, take this as notice, the love affair is over, pack your bags and leave.

I grew up with Microsoft, each new release was more and more exciting, new features, new ideas, pushing the bounds of technology, moving forward and finding new ways of being more productive and interesting and exciting.

Then they discovered there was money in support. And it began. Usability was replaced with un-usability beacuse it required support, support of Microsoft trained (at cost) system engineers. The more difficult they made it, the more money they made. We were sitting ducks and they took those easy shots.

And for me, enough was enough. I moved to mac.

Now I love the mac platform, it is truly wonderful and my time with it has been a joy.

Things work. Sorry but thats it, boring, short but brilliantly true, things W.O.R.K. where they don’t with Windows, no re-installs, no searching technet for explanations for todays obscure failure. Imagine my joy!

Years of joy, years of fun and usability and get the pictue?

Now I have been shafted once, bought a new ipod cos I didnt want an iPhone, didnt NEED an iPhone.

And now I have to pay, pay because I have NO OTHER CHOICE than to pay if I want to move forward, pay because I am being held to ransom. So yes, I gave in and paid.

Now Apple are to release another new update, just a matter of weeks after the last, not months more like weeks. And they want me to pay again. Not the iPhone users, not those supreme beings, no they get if free but us the lowly iPod user must AGAIN pay.

Well, no, sorry, not again, no longer will I just take this.

So it stops.

The apple TV is definately in the bin,

The new mac, postponed.

The change to something else, probably linux accelerated.

I have had enough.

I want to be free of one person, one entity choosing my destiny and then screwing me for my loyalty to them.

You know I feel better for venting this, i’m such an apple whore i’ll probably forgive them tomorrow, god its like sleeping with the company LOL
