    [TImothy Auld] “And I asked why I should trust Apple”

    Because you can make money using their product for some number of years before they EOL it just like all the other A companies have done at one point or another.

    [TImothy Auld] “They are making, quite literally, hundreds of millions of dollars off my back. And that in the words of Don Corleone “is something I do not forgive.

    Because your support of FCP over the enabled the company to stay afloat and develop the iDevices?

    See Discrete/Autodesk. I assume you saw the list. Their killing field is deep and started before Apple’s and cost people more money because the move was a lot more expensive then.

    Im seriously curious.

    If you had to buy today, who would you trust that will still “have your back” in 13 years?

    Craig, if you are talking to me then I do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about. I asked why I should trust a single word Apple says. No on has answered that other than to ask me who I do trust and why. And I repeat that that is obfuscation of the highest order.

    I asked you a very pointed question which you are very pointedly not answering.

    OK, Craig. On your advice I will make this my business model for the future. I know I will do well.

    I did in another response. Because you can make money during the life of the product. Of course if you feel you can’t make money during the life of a product than that would be a good reason not to trust a company.
