Technology can be like your favorite undiscovered, underground artist that played in cheap venues with well vodka and tight unisex bathrooms 10 years ago. Today that same artist is one of the hottest around living in a loft Williamsburg and shopping at Farmers market in Union Square."I knew about them before..."
"If you don't understand them, listen to someone else."
"I don't have to explain anything!"
"They got too big."
"They sold out"
"You didn't have to go through what I did"
Someone is always going to think they've earned being a fan more than someone else. Those arguments never go anywhere. It's all about options.
I root for the underdog and the people that are working hard to beat the establishment. Call me a fanboy and/or elitist and you're probably right. I made a conscious decision to "switch". I went against the grain to whole new world. I was happy when not many people "knew" about the "other side" and took pleasure in seeing them struggle with what technology they thought was best. Now, as things are shifting and my choice years ago is now fashionable, these noobs have all these complaints and issues. I have this to say...
"If you don't like it, switch back and never look back". That goes for phones, computers, tablets, machine guns or whatever. You have a choice in is this great retail landscape. If you don't like it, RETURN IT (within 30 days, 14 in some cases).
