> Did you miss the fact that the new iMacs come with twice as much RAM?

RAM has plummeted in price since I bought my iMac.

I agree that Apple will make more profit, on Apple Care etc. Particularly as optical drives are probably their #1 expense. Probably most people don't care. I do.

> Trying to fight it can only keep you mired in the past.

Not necessarily. In fact locking yourself in may lock you in the past.

I use this example all the time: 24bit flac files. Not supported by Apple. I personally think forward looking people love this format. Its not going away. Forward looking people are generally on the side of more freedom, not less.

> And, what is that "one little application?"

RSS Menu. The version I'm using is the only RSS reader worth a poop. Unfortunately it has some pretty bad bugs and one horrendous interface bug. I use it every day. Of course if some other coder understands WHY people might want to be alerted asap when something good is posted on Craigs, the guy who wrote RSS Menu will have some competition.
