Letter to:Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton

Dear Cotton:

Your action over a possible loss has meant money to your competitor. Rather than buy an apple phone I have chosen to purchase one based on Droid. Not because you may have an improved phone in the wings. Shucks, isn’t that always an assumption in turnover capitalism? Nope, Katie it is because of your actions over the matter. I know this doesn’t matter. And off to other matters.

Notice it was GIVE, not sell. The MITS was a kit. Those were my early days.
