Exactly. The need to get a grip.
I made, and deleted, a crack yesterday about Apple at times only seeming interested in catering to the Dubai oil sheik heir market. Well, I'm reinstating that comment...never should've deleted it yesterday. And I'll take it back if/when they pull back from that a bit.
PS - Google Image "Dubai rich guy" for a funny glimpse of my mental image of Apple's favorite customer base.
When you have a pet cheetah/panther riding shotgun in your custom, one-off Bugatti, you can buy WTF-ever monitor you want!
"Apple, I'm looking for a monitor more in the $30,000 range, what can you do for me?"
