Actually no.  I'm OK with greed and selfishness.  It's the sheer
stupidity of the situation.

In fact, I think this situation would benefit from a bit more greed --
i.e. a manufacturer willing to take a risk on truly well designed, high-
end laptops for Windows (let's be realistic) users.  Right now, they all
seems to be simply ceding the high-margin laptop market to Apple; it's
pathetic.

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
