Absolutely your mind is closed. This post proves it.
Me? I frankly doubt you could walk in my shoes. I'm a business and cross platform computer consultant. I've owned and operated a business in that field for 35 years. You couldn't do it because know zero about Macs. I have experience as well in setting up and managing several multi-platform networks for businesses, small to medium size non-profits, schools, publishers—including two newspapers and three magazines, and many professional offices, including one I manage now as a consultant, that has a mix of Mac OSX, Windows 7, and Linux, doing work from general office all the way to 3D tomographic radiography, CADCAM, and HD Video editing. . . Now 99% on Macs. The computers that created the MOST network problems were the Windows PCs—they were constantly randomly crashing the network. . . We removed them and put them out. Anything that absolutely required a Windows solution now runs in a sandbox VM on a Mac. No more crashing network.
I have many more than "one" Mac, and work with various versions of Windows (XP, 7 and 8.1), Linux, Mac OSX 9 Mavericks and it's underlying UNIX. . . and my company and I have been doing IT for over 35 years. My main Mac runs virtual machine versions of ALL of those OSes except UNIX simultaneously in sandboxes so I can serve my clients. Even my MacBook Air has several Virtual Machines at my beck and call so I can bring them up to attempt to duplicate an issue for a client, or step through with them showing how to do something. The vast majority of problems and my company's income comes from those clients running Windows.
I find it amusing to be lectured by someone who apparently knows NOTHING about a computer, the Mac, that more and more people are buying, and is running one of the four certified POSIX compliant TradeMarked UNIX operating systems. . . and who seems proud of that ignorance! Everything you posted on the Mac is at least a decade and a half out of date. Save your ignorance of the Mac platform for someone you can bamboozle.
The good news, Lx, is that ignorance is curable. Get a Mac and start learning.
You're a psychic? What are the powerball numbers the next game?
I've actually had a Mac for over a year, it was a nice machine but inside the quality was very interesting. This was in 2004 and it was an Imac, I know, they're the bottom of the line but it worked and never crashed although the drive died which has nothing to do with Apple.
Plugged it into the network and it was off to the races, Windows PCs do the same thing though. The BSODS thast pagued Windows Nt have been pretty mich solved, I haen't seen the blue scree in a least a year.
My biggest problem I had with a Mac is that a friend had an SE?? the one with the monitor in the case. Apple, in their infinite wisdom, has you drag the floppy to the trash to eject it. It's cool when it works but when it doesn't, it's actually very easy to fix IF you have the correct tools. The worse part is they use a torx screw and the tool needs to be around a foot long to reach the screw. I had to cut one of my Torx fold out tools and rig it to work. It took longer to do that than fix the floppy. I was impressed with the insides, it looked very clean and it didn't have the Oops, we made a mistake so we have to have a new rev and solder a wire (or several) to fix the issue whatever it is. When I was a bench tech, I always wondered about the people who didn't get the fix.
If my CIO said we have to support Macs, I would be elated, more info for my CV and it would be awesome to research the pitfalls that come with any device and the beautiful part is that instead of recreating the wheel, I could look at someone elses work.
Don't flatter yourself, I could run in your shoes and I assume you could do the same to me. Not knowing a Mac is not a problem, I get issues with devices I've never seen and I fix them in no time (of course Google helps here).
I've been thinking of getting a tablet. A man in our fellowship has one and it makes it incredibly easy to go to the verse the Pastor is referencing; that is an awesome way to follow the Pastor. I don't know if I should get the Apple version or the myriad of clones out there. I've got an Iphone because AT&T offered it for a dollar. It has a bunch of feature but I only use it to make phone calls, still it was worth a dollar and I haven't had the battery issues folks are whining about. The only downside is that if you have Bluetooth enabled, it suck the battery dry quickly. I don;t think Apple did this on purpose and my wives Samsung has a horrible battery life span. Doing nothing, you have to charge it only after twelve hours.
