It is cute the way people caught up in modern mythologies come up with “clever” labels to combat those of us who can see through their nonsense. Al Gore and company call anyone who doesn't go along 100% with his brand of “anthropogenic global warming” a “denier”. Swordmaker calls those of us who do not buy into the Apple mythology, “Apple haters”.
I have been an electronics enthusiast since I was growing up the 1960s and 1970s starting first with electronics kits and plans and moving onto digital micro-computer components as they became available. I remember how exciting it was to move from sliderules to calculators. I was thoroughly enamored with “home computers” when they started coming on the market. I still have a large collection of early home computers and software.
Apple mythologists twist their historical facts and reality at about the same proportion that global warmists do. Those of us who have witnessed the evolution of electronics and computer technology find this kind of revisionist history to be irritating, especially since the most valuable corporation in the world has been spreading this kind of inaccurate cow manure for years and a lot of it has become ingrained in our culture and accepted as truth.
The only ones posting revisionist history here are fireman15 and adorno. . . but they are not very good at it. they have ZERO facts on their side. they only have facturds, i.e., myths to posts. I have rebutted every single one of their fractured facturds. They don't like it.
Like moths drawn irresistibly to the light, so Apple haters are drawn mindlessly, with little self-awareness, to Apple threads to compulsively make their inane comments and otherwise flit about such threads.
