People would think you came from a different universe.
And the hype, which I do. But I’m glad you like your phone.
I was servicing Macs back then and the lC475 came with 4MB. It was one of the most expandable of the Macintosh lines and being a pizza box style, easily done by the consumer. It had just one easily reached RAM slot on the motherboard. The case was easily opened by the means of spring catches at the rear. NOTHING had to be removed to reach the memory. A reset switch on the motherboard after memory change needed to be pushed, IIRC, and the cover replaced. WHY would you, with your experience, need to have any help at all to exchange a single 72 pin SIMM????
Sorry, but you were NOT talking to an Apple employee, since at that time, did Apple have any Apple stores for you to meet one. You would have been at a 3rd party store that was merely an "authorized" dealer and repair station. Apple did not open it's first Apple Store until May of 2001. At that time, many of those "dealers," especially the big box stores and office dealers, looked down their collective noses at Apple users and were not averse to letting the users know it. You were right in the middle of that time. . . and it was the PRIME reason that Steve Jobs made the decision that Apple had to open their own stores. . . to get around that problem. Now according to JD Powers, Apple has had the best customer satisfaction record in the world.
I'm glad you like your Galaxy. . . but you've never used an iPhone. I've used Android. It does not compare.
Normally the anti apple/anti linux insults start within the first 15 comments on any tech thread. These people are very consistent.
I have used an iPhone. My wife had one. They’re good phones but Samsung is better.
Those South Koreans might want to think hard about that, Samsung is 20% of their economy. How much is an unemployment check in SK?
They would think that with any phone these days. No I anything for me. I have experience with all types.
FaceTime has an audio only option, so it is wifi calling, but only to other FaceTime phones. Skype is available as well.
And with all those technical skills, you couldn’t install your own RAM? I’m also a little bewildered by where you found “ a 20-ish fuzz-moustached Apple employee” to install it for you; the first Apple Store didn’t open until 2001.
Right and good to have overseas.
I left that machine, along with my ex, a long time ago, and have no need, nor desire, to get into a spitting contest about how wonderful and great Apple computers are, and have been, with anybody.
Have a good day.
Any ‘glass faced phone’ of any capability and function, is a box of things I would rather do without, and since the manufacturer of the contraption I use at present, is not on the list, it is a small comfort.
“Not unless you discount all the reviewers. . . and the sales. . . and the users. “
Same thing can be said of liberalism, but that doesn’t mean liberalism is a good thing or that I want it.
