What are you trying to do, change my mind? Your putting a nail in the coffin of my claims will not change how I feel about Apple. Bill Gates has been cursed from time to time by almost everyone that touched a Microsoft product, unlike the perverted cult of personality around Steve Jobs.
My bias goes way back to all the holier-than-thou Apple owners that continuously poor mouthed PC's. The comparison back then was laughable. I could do far more on my TI-99/4A than anyone could on an overpriced Apple. It is no wonder that Apple is taking over at NASA and IBM as you claim. The programs to indoctrinate children in schools with the Apple Logo started almost 40 years ago. Those indoctrinated children came of age and entered the workforce with the Apple logo stenciled on their brains. Is it a coincidence that full blown socialist indoctrination arrived in our schools around the same time?
My Dad got in on the ground floor of computing after World War II and retired from General Electric as a Sr. Computer Systems Analyst. He was part of the team that wrote code for the Saturn 5 Rocket inventory under contract to NASA. Open code PC's allowed me to program and work with computers as much as I wanted. As a Senior Technician at Verizon, I got to do that and get paid well for doing it. I have not kept up with the Apple products for the past fifteen years since I went into Program and Project Management and then retired. But actually I don't even care because, why would I want to learn anything about an Apple? I heard about an Apple being able to run Windows. Some further proof that Apples were inferior to PC's before that.
WOW! You are delusional if you think that individual NASA engineers and corporate IBM all are choosing Apple Macs because they are brainwashed as children.

What could be more open than UNIX™ which Apple converted all of its computers and devices to more than fifteen years ago. You revel in your ignorance and brag about how proud you are about being ignorant of these basic facts here, ,. . . and then preach to us from your position of total ignorance spouting untruths as if you were a fount of truth, when you've just admitted your claims are based on no real knowledge at all.
But actually I don't even care because, why would I want to learn anything about an Apple?
You say "You don't even care," but here you are, spouting your self-acknowledged, ignorant, uninformed, nonsensical, and not at-all useful to the topic, flame-baiting opinions in this thread. Why?
YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF THE APPLE HATE SYNDROME. You say "Don't bother me with facts, my mind is 'Out of business'."
You, sir, are exactly the type of IT person who works in this college's IT department. Ignorant and perfectly happy to remain so.
