As an engineer who has “converted”, I now preach loudly.
If you want infinite reboots, lots of virus checks, unreliable operation, get a Microsoft product. My office machine: Windows. Crashes/reboots: around 2-3/week.
My home machines; Apples. Reboots: Well, I’ll tell you when I have to do do it. 5 years, 4 machines, and counting: none.
If you need a tool, not a toy, get a Mac.
Go to any institution full of physicists...and see what they use.
Preaching now turned off.
Thanks for your insight. My only peeve is that Apple is a big Gore supporter - but I guess old bill Gates isn’t much better.
