Both parties are making money of that you can be sure!

Does anybody here realize the long term benefits to us in the USA.  We gave away all that technology in the past and now we need it back.  If they screw this up the USA now we might never catch up.  We don't have the trained engineers like we use to...where did they go...they retired or died for the most part.  We don't educate enough engineers in the USA to meet our current need in almost all fields.  Most of the ones we have come from other countries now.  This is sad.  Now in the middle of all this we want to mess up this opportunity?  Fine throw away/delay this opportunity which will set the USA back further.  This whining defies logic!  We need to start building or own chips in the USA in mass now not 10 years from now.  If war breaks out we could end up totally screwed!

Why will apple not make a Mac Pro that is at an affordable price comparable to the 2012 Mac Pro?  I have been a Faithful Mac Desktop user since the SE30 came out.  I don't want a iMac or a Mac mini or a Mac Studio.  I don't want to be restricted to buying their memory or storage devices at criminal prices.  I still use and get by with my 2012 Mac Pro but it is long in the tooth.  What have I done to Apple to make them hate no maybe even despise me for wanting an affordable Mac Pro like the old and very dependable 2012.  Don't get me wrong they make some nice products that they love but how about what we want.....Sad........

Buying Disney is not a good idea.  Apple is a tech company.  Trying to be everything to everyone is a recipe for failure in the future.  Just look at a company that lost its focus like General Electric under Jack Welch....  This story is not unique and yes history does seem to repeat itself.
