Just an old fart who thinks Macs should be Macs. Simply the best computers in the world, with the best OS on them.
Apple forgot that. Spreading from phones to tunes like butter over too much bread. Messing up quality. Getting infected with the WIntel virus. Shipping beta software. Losing apple keys on their way...
Guess someone has to remind them: Macs First. OK?
Hang'em HIGH - the murderers of the Apple Key

We did not believe it.
Even days after the initial show off of the new iMacs and the new Apple keyboard we preferred to believe someone just fucked up when producing the samples. But NO - this is the reality.
The WIntel-infected camarilla of Cupertino is playing games on their (still loyal) users.
The Apple-logo is gone from the command key. Yes, that button no real Apple fan can resist to pet and fondle here and there is no more there. Of course a command key is still to be found on Apple's keyboard layout.
But no Apple key.
ARE - YOU - NUTS ?????
This is a piece of identity. One of the last we have got, by the way.
Windoze users got a Windoze key. Linux nerds scratch it off and cover the scars with a penguin sticker.
And you take away our Apple?
WTF? Anyhone still home in Cupertino? Or did the product management run off together with QA/QM and left some brainless Microslave/Intel moles behind together with some brilliant but dumb designers?
Or is this another rip-off and in a few weeks there will be a super-duper titan-enhanced replacement key with laser engraved Apple-logo, showing up in the Apple store, for JUST $99.99, limited edition, coming with some gold-plated unique tool to repair our crippled keyboards?
C'mon Steve, Phil, whoever. Just can't stand it.
GET THE APPLE KEY BACK ON OUR KEYBOARDS.
Press [Apple - Z]
NOW.
Strictly NO iMac and keyboard purchases until this has been mended.
Please support this. Write comments. Send in your rants. Send millions of command keys to Cupertino. Give them HEAT. Whatever it takes.
And visit the folks over at apfeltaste.wordpress.com - another bunch of good fellow Macsters VERY much pissed off by this irresponsible betrayal.

I teach at a technical school where macs are used and new models purchased regularly. We are boycotting the new aluminum imacs for two reasons - terrible shiny screens that don't work in an office or school setting due to reflections and the missing apple logo on the command key.
