What part of "I've managed and maintained over 120 Macs" did you fail to comprehend? What part of "I've owned and run a cross platform tech business for almost forty years" did you fail to grasp? I've made my living in this field. None of that requires being told anything by anyone in Apple PR, asshat. Don't you think I KNOW what I'm talking about by now? I am, an expert in this area. Businesses PAY ME for what I know, for my expertise.
You, on the other hand, are a know nothing dilettante, Okie. You've shown you don't have clue in matters Mac or Apple, which are demonstrated in the unfounded rumors you've repeated and the lies you spout in Apple threads.
The novice Okie isn’t worth the bother, Sword. Just another child out to disrupt Apple threads. Like you I’ve maintained Apple machines for forty years as well as PCs, minis, mainframes and telecom, and the BS is thick with that one. As for the MacBook Pro I just received, I’m enjoying it, including the software made by Apple (according to Okie) called Microsoft Office 2016 and Adobe PhotoShop CS6 Master Suite among other apps. I’ve worked on multiple Mac/iMac desktops as well as many MacBooks and they are very different with different components. Sometimes you run across some similarities like I did replacing Twentieth-Anniversary Mac components with those from Mac laptops (1996-1997), but rarely. You know your stuff, Sword. This novice Okie, not so much (actually very little).
Well since you are such Apple hardware aficionado’s you should be able to work on antique components.
I’m sure it’s obvious to you that you’ve been left holding the bag on products that are slowly being suffocated by Apple but still charging a 50% premium yet MacRumors has the majority of line of products as Don’t buy with a couple of Caution’s thrown in.
