I guess I am no longer worthy of Apple's latest features, since I am not continuing to send them sufficient money, even<br>
though I paid for each upgrade that would actually work.<br>
<br>
Kubuntu does support the machine, including all the latest features, but not Apple.<br>
<br>
This is not the way to treat customers who paid full price for a brand-new product. Ten years, I could understand, but not<br>
less than 5.<br>
<br>
Plus, they continued to bill me for a service I no longer use, after telling me (in writing) that they would cease to do<br>
so.<br>
<br>
I guess I know what their priorities are.<br>
