To prove this statement, one only needs to look at how the IPhone release was handled.

Apple released at at ridiculous price and several weeks later, lowered the price to something slightly less (but still) ridiculous. Users rioted. Well, maybe "rioted" is too strong a word, but they b*tched and whined a whole lot...so Apple refunded a portion of their price.

Only a lib company with lib users would do something like that. Apple is a CORPORATION for pete's sakes. They're in it to make money. Unfortunately, their users have vested them with the same status as a "Best Friend Forever" or some such nonsense.

Apple has pretty graphics, and is an excellent system for people that don't understand computers. Beyond that, I'd recommend PCs.

“lowered the price to something slightly less”

$599 to $399. $200 is more than “slightly less.”

No, only a GOOD company would do something like that. Nothing quite like the iPhone existed at the time it was released, so there was no market to base the price. Apple realized they made a mistake, and corrected it.
