I spend a lot of time recovering other people’s data,

I have maybe 25 T of hard drive space on my network, with multiple backups.I have time machine backups and always have bootable clones.

I did run all the scripts that were supposed to detect ad remove the latest exploits, but they were not present on any of my machines.

I went a little deeper and found 12 emails with attached exe files, that had been in my archives for years. Someone running a PC without protection sent them to me, but they had no effect on my mac at all. I have every email that I have been sent since the second version of OS X, which was the last clean install I have done.

Since I really don't have any use for most of the gazllions of apps that I have accumulated over the years. I think I will divorce myself from the past entirely when the next version of OS X comes out since I have most everything I need now from the APP store. I will destroy all my emails even addresses I have had for years, because at 73 I really don't need the aggravation. My life is now all about simplification.

25T network storage!!

Dude, you are my hero.

I don’t own a Mac, but my next PC will be a Mac mini. But the base model, bump it to 8 GB via Amazon and $39.

I’m tired of fighting Windows, and Win8 doesn’t impress me at all. If I’m going to go through a learning curve, I think it’s best that I go through the curve that leads to a known positive experience - and for that, the Mac wins; it’s no contest.
