	Going out of your way to dig up dirt about a company's
products makes your opinion more objective, not less objective, since
your new opinion would be based more on facts and less on gut feeling.
You have no obligation to stop yourself from learning about the
deficiencies of Apple's products.

	Also, you have no obligation to provide people with helpful
information about the Macintosh any more than a chemistry student
should feel obligated to sell terrorists on nerve gas.  You need not
point out opportunities for people to gain by doing things that have
a negative tota effect, like producing nerve gas or buying from Apple.
