I have a six year old MacBook Pro that is still going strong. Apple products have much longer lifespans than the generics... I mean, competitors.

When you have to compete with the Koch Brothers, I say GOOD! Until they get rid of Citizens United, this is what we have to do. Small donations yes, but gotta have the funds to be able to rip up FrankenTrump.
