You will not regret it.
I have to admit that although I have preferred android this apple pay thing has me reconsidering. I’ll watch it for a while and might make the switch.

:-D The funny part was since we had an active customer beta going on at the time we had quite a few, shall I say, “colorful” comments in many of the bug reports.
The Product Manager would just shake his head and say, “I love it when the Justice Department demands our emails and bug database.”
An operating system that treats you as too stupid to be allowed to do certain things just chapped my hide.
Do not watch reality TV or read People magazine either.
No comparison. A Mac in the late 1980s? That resembles today’s Mac like a Model T resembles a Ferrari.
