"...The price will NEVER come down, Apple just introduces newer models with different features to keep price and demand up...."

And the problem with that is...?

Apple is a company competing in a capitalist environment. If their product is not wanted, it won't sell, and they will be forced to change or lose money.

As a company that is VERY healthy with huge reserves of cash turning a profit nearly every single quarter that rolls by, then someone must want their products. They are doing what a business SHOULD do.

A business does not supply goods to people because it is a nice thing to do, they do it because they want to make money.

Socialism does not work. Period.

As Eric Allie so eloquently illustrates in his cartoon:

I don't have any problem with Apple not lowering prices or making a profit. I have a Mac notebook that I love, I'm going to buy a Mac desktop later in the year when they come out with the Intel processor, I have an iPod and almost bought a new one today but Best Buy didn't have the 60gig model in stock.
