Most Apple users are reduced to checking email and playing Candy Crush.

Everything actually useful is done on almost anything else.

Hahahahahaaa! I guess it's good to be so ignorant. Of course, it's really just envy!

Bought my first Macintosh in 1984. Used it to design houses, which I built and kept track of all the details, with a free Apple-provided spreadsheet.

Used MacWrite (also FREE) to write the contracts, prepare advertising, and write anything I wanted. My three year old daughter learned how to use the computer and learned alphabet, numbers, and typing skills.

The was no Word. Wordperfect was a third party for the DOS crowd. I never had to learn C> codes, as I used a mouse and easy-to-learn keyboard shortcuts.

Have owned Mac Computers ever since. They work.

I do play games on my Mac, but the number one most-used Windoze program is Solitaire! I now use my MacBook Pro, my iPad, and my iPhone for business and pleasure. I am now retired, but am President of a Private Foundation (NGO) operating in the Philippines with various projects, also set up a Pizza business for something to keep me and my fiance' busy making money. The various softwares are mostly Apple products which work. They just work!

I'm a Network Administrator in a largely Mac environment.

Back up. Punt again.

And we all know the real reason Microsoft put Solitaire (and later FreeCell) on their Operating Systems: To give Windows users something to do while their programs "hour-glassed" in the background.
