I have to wholeheartedly agree with Mike, KK5F. As an 16 yr. veteran IT
professional, I decided to give Apple a fair shake and purchased a MacBook for my wife and a MacBook Pro for myself. After a year (A "fair" time period.) I went back to my beloved ThinkPads. My 13 yr. old daughter, Sam, W2SSC now has the MacBook Pro as she and my wife love them. They are meant to be relatively easy and discourage most "under the hood" upgrades. I, however, dislike the "our way or the highway" approach. Wishing everybody and their families a healthy and happy new year. Take care es...

Before this degenerates further, I was referring to Elecraft/Apple producing
a product that is so good that the public didn't know they wanted it; then couldn't live without it once exposed to it (iPod, iPhone, iPad; K1, K2, K3, KX3). We all know that Elecraft (unlike Apple) understands that customer support is the actual product that they really sell. The rest is just hardware.
