Kinda makes you wonder what Apple will come up with next.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I found out when a sturdy, but beautifully designed (like all Apple products) envelope\u00a0 arrived in our mailbox a week after my new laptop computer came to live at our house. The envelope was from the Apple Fulfillment Center. Yup, that\u2019s what the return address and the letterhead and all the fancy designs said: The Apple Fulfillment Center. Think Santa\u2019s Workshop for big people.<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<\/p>\n<p>With trembling fingers, I opened the envelope. What could it be? My own personal dream come true? A Make a Wish Foundation for adults, even ones who are healthy? A swimming pool for the back yard, complete with someone to clean it every day all summer? A ten year free pass on the airline of my choice? My mind was a chaos of possibilities as I reached in and pulled out&#8230;the AppleCare Extended Service.<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Apple\u2019s idea of fulfillment? An extended warranty document? If so, then I think the stereotypical image of computer people &#8211; a bunch of geeks who think computers are good for whatever ails a person &#8211; is true. Their concept of fulfillment makes me feel sorry for their spouses. I can see them opening birthday cards from their strangely fulfilled mates. I bet the cards are written in binary code. And for Christmas, they get extended warranty documents with a note saying, \u201cFulfilling your dreams for the next 1095 days. Please keep this card as your receipt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<\/p>\n<p>The way I look at it, Apple has a big marketing problem now. I mean, where do they go from here? If their customers are fulfilled, they won\u2019t want anything else, right? Unless, of course, they come out with every kid\u2019s dream gift &#8211; the iPony, and every adult\u2019s dream spouse &#8211; the iPerson, programmed to be at one\u2019s beck and call 24\/7 until the three year warranty runs out. I could use one of those.<\/p>\n<p>Wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First the iPod, next the iPhone, now the iPad. Kinda makes you wonder what Apple will come up with next.
