I have a Nokia phone, and like it. The article title caught my attention.

I've worked in IT for about 40 years, mostly in IBM mainframe environments. Back in the early '80's I was there in the trenches hauling 3270 coax, token-ring and ethernet cable. IBM and Microsoft were working to get personal computers to talk to the mainframes. Apple was publicly pissing on the whole idea every chance they got. I haven't really had much use for Apple products, but they worked at not having anything I needed.

Apparently that makes me a "complainer".

I was around since 84, not a tech an end user. Macs made it easy for me to learn and never called apple tech assistance. My son learned MacPaint and then adobe illustrator all on the Mac. Now he’s an internet marketing manager and still designs web sites.

I understand the early differences and the early wars. Just think we could move beyond that and appreciate what we have now. Truly an abundance and choices for those who want.
