Software Sells Systems - Perfect , No Software, No Need for the Hardware.
Take away the Software People have built their office or business on , Literally ticks them off.
I am getting tired of being ticked off - cannot afford it - too much trouble. 
Keep it simple, add features, don't discontinue the software, just add to it. 
Software Sells Systems to Me and Others

Well, what will FB think of next?  A FB OS for a computer.  Doe this mean we can soon run Web Based Apps on FB.  Pages, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Filemaker, etc.  I want no part of FB.  I have just spent the last hour looking at my 1 month account updates.  99% pure junk.  Maybe I will cut back to 1 hour of FB every 3 months.  Still glad I sold the FB stock & invested elsewhere - in a sock.

Why buy a power company with the sunk legacy costs that are driving them down ?  No reason to do that,  Avoid the legacy costs of Coal, Nuclear, huge distribution and generation systems - Build one with a New Technology that does not have these legacy costs.  Very few Maintenance Technicians to keep the systems (panels, etc) operating efficiently.  One has to look at the total cost of Generation, not just the cost of a panel vs the equivalent amount of energy generated via another method.

Continue the forward thinking Apple, et. al.

I have been waiting for the 2018 product releases.  I will buy 2 Macs, 2 iPads, and 2 Phones. While the technology prior to now , Augus 2, 2018 is great, I usually buy for the long term and I want up to date products that will function exceedingly well going forward.  They don't have to be the speediest MacBook Pro.  But they have to have what I forecast is coming.  Long time AAPL holder (1984).  I am very pleased with the stock prices this week and that AAPL is "all of a sudden" a Buy on some "Anal-ist's"  lists.  Yes, you could roll the dice on any given day, and win or lose.  But . . .  Look who has all of the $'s. They get my Votes.  The coming iOS and OSx and products are going to be even more fantastic.

The fact that all of my products work seamlessly is great.  No, I don't use all the software available - who can ? But what I use is fabulous & easy to use.  My wife hardly ever asks me to "fix" her Mac.  It just works !  The others are weak in this area.

The new iPad Pros "Should" have the latest chips available.
The new Mac Pros "Should" also.
What ever is next should not be behind as they come out of the gate. 
I understand they are using up parts that they have on hand or have Production purchased.
I would think is is a logistics nightmare trying to get the products designed, produced, out the door into the supply chain of stores.
We want the latest when we buy to future proof the products. 
Specs are important to publish for easy comparison of products.
Personally, I am very interested in AR, the Mac that may have some App abilities  - this is not hard for them to do . It is working no doubt in the research departments & I have wanted it for years ; it is not as easy as it looks. But . . . .  They can do it.
