Mr. Bezos has a proposition for you, foghat. I have always avoided Apple because I was wary of entanglements -- I encode my own music and video and keep the optical on shelves I bought when Blockbuster went under. I got the Fire with no intention of becoming entangled, but I find myself now being sucked into the vortex.

But Amazon's vortex is a more welcoming, less expensive, 'what can I do for you' as opposed to Apple's 'don't even thing about that' vortex.

I'm not going to pretend to know how all of this will work out, but I suspect there will be less buyer's remorse among the Amazonians than the iFolks and we're waiting here for you, foghat. See you soon!
