I refuse to update my Mac from 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). My computer WORKS.

The later OS’s are too funky and glitchy.

I run Windows 7 in a virtual machine within my Mac and it’s a valuable pairing for the consulting work I do.

I’m far from a liberal but I have to interface with them and help them...

Need to go and cover my pepper plants - chilly tonight!

I've updated to 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, but won't be upgrading to Yosemite or El Capitan. I don't have any other Apple devices to synch with them, and like what I already have.

I agree 100%. I stick with Mountain Lion (OS 10.8.5), because Mountain Lion is smooth: cool Calendar, sweet Contacts, and a very useful TextEdit.

I read Isaacson’s Jobs in 2011 and learned to have pity for the genius who lacked the ability to give credit to his inferiors.

It is sad to see a healthy American company become infected with the vice of sodomy which can only be cured by either rudely removing the sodomites or destroying the business.

Very sad. My first Apple purchase was 1986 and here it is 2015 and I am researching alternatives.

Yosemite is rock solid reliable on my new MBP. No problems from Day 1 release.
