I am used to my iPhone and iPad-I’ve used them for years! I was having trouble with photos from my wildlife photo hobby on my Windows computer. It was old anyway, so we just upgraded to an iMac! WOW what a learning curve!

I recently bought a MAC. A little bit different but not too bad. I love it

I love my Mac. I’ve used windows PCs since 1990, the Mac is intuitive to use and works great.

I've got 4 apples in the basket here. The newest laptop has Windows7 has it's OS. Still prefer the PC 'platform' though ,circa Windows98SE. Heck I still have BNIB windows3.11 here,somewhere. I used to do ALL my own programming, today no one does, they just 'move mice', 'fill in the blanks' on 'aps'. I still program the microcomputers though,keeps the mind ,um, ahh, oh yeah, sharp....
to each his own, as they say...

I have never had an Apple (MAC) computer....... but they use to say they were a LOT better for doing design and photos than the WIN computers.

I bought my mac when I got hacked and took to repair shop and paid to have it removed and a different program and as soon as I got it home and plugged it in they were back so I bought my mac and haven't had any problems . It works out great for using Indesign to put or Club show book together doing all the ads . I use Trend as my virus blocker and it has done good.

| “No one does “ is not accurate. I still do at work from time to time. In fact, we have a need for a full time programmer. Wanna work?
And besides, where do you think all these apps and updates come from.

To me it’s the mouse on the Mac desktop that is very different! I’m used to the Apple touchscreens! I had to get an adapter to hook up my old printer. Got that working yesterday. Today got to the print screen never did find the print radio button! Wife accidentally figured out tab/return does that function! I’m trying to walk away if I get frustrated!

re: And besides, where do you think all these apps and updates come from.
Pretty sure they were NOT created using assembler....
updates.... yeah, early days we'd edit the bytes in the actual .exe file on the then new 5 1/4" floppy disk.......
I can't gain access to the new cable modem as I don't own a 'smart device', well I can turn it's LEDs on or off, check basic traffic info....nothing else..
I miss the old dayze....

You said nobody programs. Then you said you use assembly. I didn’t say people use assembly language, I said people program, like ansii c or something, I do.
