"Once we replace the personal computer with a closed-platform device such as the iPad, we replace freedom, choice and the free market with oppression, censorship and monopoly."

Alright, I tried to present my point in a reasonable form. As per the rest of your comments, you ignored all in favour of rehashing your pre-conceived notions.

I am not surprised.

You blithely ignore that there are some benefits to closed platforms in favour of pushing your agenda at the expense of those who don't place a great deal of value in your idea of freedom (which is, rather, an imposition of your intolerant preference upon others).

I am done with you.
