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.
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.
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.
So, at the last moment you finally understand. ;^)
And yes, they were brainwashed as children.
