Oh, come on!   Isn't that a silly line of reasoning?   Apple will leave
it's customers hanging because it has so many non-customers?   Why are you
twisting my words?

I said that I will not fault Apple for not supplying products that I don't
buy, because they do supply the products that I want, and that I am
satisfied with.   Why is that so hard to understand?
