I have kind of mixed opinions on that part. Want to be beat up online-yea, I'm getting old.) I used to never back down from a physical fight now I don't I would actually be concerned about the backlash from a post? TheseĪre just my, probally off base, thoughts. And no, I don't dislike Apple I'm just not the fan I was a few years ago. Simple to use operating system not tied to Apple, but uses that beautiful So call me stupid, but I have been passively waiting for an To the terms & conditions because it is 56 pages) Why do I own twoĪpple computers-I acccepted them in barter for services.

I don't like agreeing to 56? pages of legal stuff- I don't read on Itunes.(Actually, I can'tĭownload from Itunes because I refuse to agree to that I'm not upset with Apple-just tired of updating operating systems-then some programs and externals stop working. I know they are suspose to be locked down, but I find I just don't use my Apple products, besides the Ipad, for most of my projects.

The folks downvoting and justifying subservience to the OSX hegemony over forward progress for the Linux collective must not realize just how nice it will be, one day soon, to be running the greatest OS ever made on the finest quality laptop hardware made, so far. or was it more like 'you know what would be cool? If Linux ran on this great hardware. How did Linux get to where it is today? Was it by people saying 'oh, it doesn't work, so why bother, its just all such a huge hassle'. >Why are you putting the onus of blame on OP?īecause he's actively discouraging people, rather pessimistically, from trying to improve the situation.
