    Anyone who took macro & micro in even undergrad courses knows full well instantly why Apple MARKETING is so successful at defying the basic
    economic trend of "better faster cheaper" over time...

    To that end, here's a humorous look, from MacWorld, published this week:

    Did you go on just the other day about how you don't post information in inappropriate groups?

    How is an article from MacWorld appropriate in this group, Arlen?

    And how it appropriate to post it twice?
