Nope, not a sheep, I don't own an Apple device and never will (I'll stick to my independently and publicly audited hardware and software). And you misunderstood what I meant by their take on things, it has nothing to do with their advertising, cause if I were a sheep and believed all that stuff, I'd have gone for a Mac. What I liked about the Mac is that it was very Amiga-like in that the hardware was a fixed, custom design (just like the Amiga was), and I prefer that to a bit's'n'pieces system like a PC. The PC has turned out to be exactly what I feared, a crumbling heap of incompatibility and poor performance-per-Hz. Apple's single-button mouse was, and always will be, a stupid idea. I don't care who invented the mouse - in fact it's all the more reason they should attempt to catch-up in that department then (or better still, just roll over).
BTW, I assume this is their latest attempt to shake-off thier "Big-Brother" image through psychology:
I wonder how many sheeple still haven't figured-out why Apple are so big on collecting data?
You know what the best and only way is to prevent this shit from happening with your data?
The best way to prevent them or anyone else selling it? ... DONT GIVE IT TO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!
As for the stuff about living an alternative lifestyle, your concern is touching, but I'm not in the least bit worried about health arrangements either, cause as with every other aspect of what I'll be doing, it's all worked out. In fact, I'd only be worried if I had to rely on the NHS, which thankfully I won't as I won't be in the UK.

Can't I be a scarecrow instead? :-D
I'd be much happier with scarecrow!
