The fee isn't the issue. It is the on going treadmill of endless updates just to exist. That's a big deal.

I don't use app stores. Never have. And it's for this reason. I do not favor the control coming. If my computer will not run an executable on command, it really is not my computer. Useless and definitely not something I trust.

Actually I do grab free things off Google play, but I side load as often as I do that.

I think we're gonna see fairly modern systems added to the category of retro computing. It will be a system that just runs programs developed by others. Imagine that!
