    Well, you went through
    • Denial (No way! Apple would have to be tunneling)
    • Anger (Damn it, I shoulda read the article... Apple IS tunneling. Why hasn't anyone told me!!), and
    • Bargaining(So is anyone ELSE doing tunneling? I'd like to get one, but Apple's so expensive)

    After you Google for it, it will be Depression (*SIGH* No, nobody else is doing it any cheaper.) and finally Acceptance (Apple is so Awesome! I really shoulda switched sooner)... so, spare yourself the depression and just buy one. k? :)
