You believe wrong.  The ROMs are in sockets, and can be easily
replaced.

This is the real issue, isn't: we weren't doing what we were
told to do.  Well, you've been a good boy, so you get to be the
ball monitor.  I stopped letting my mommy and daddy tell me what
to do a long time ago, and don't intend to let a greedy corporation
take their place.

Sooner or later there will be a computer company that cares about
the people that buy its products.  At that time Apple will just
dry up and blow away like the rotten fruit it is.
