3. Apple's dilemma ... damned if they do, damned if they don't.

The pundits clamor for innovation, but it's the faithful who pay.

I'd expect Apple will support your MacBook for a few more years. But hardware upgrades are a fact of life. I've worked on a Mac since 1989. My combined hardware and software purchase upgrades easily tops $30,000. It hurts to think about it, but that's the price I pay to work in an industry that runs on Apple.

On the other hand, Apple stuff just works great and is great to work with. I'm not a techie. I just want the stuff to work and be trouble-free. Apple software is naturally intuitive. Their machines are reliable. Together it makes for an incredibly well-designed, beautiful product.
