I upgraded my MacBook. Had one of the new retina MacBooks on order until I discovered no FireWire card and no way to fit one. Upgraded the ram on the old machine, chucked out the DVD burner and put in a SSD drive for a start up disc. Replaced the original HD with a 1 TB drive. That is the type of upgrade that extends the life of a machine by at least 2 years saving me good money.
Was going to buy a new Mac Pro desk top machine but no upgrade by apple in that sector for 3 years. Canned that purchase as well.
I can now point to 3 apple purchases I didn't make, laptop, iPhone and desktop machine.
I don't think they will notice as they watch people batter and claw at each other to buy the new iPhone.
