I was being facetious.

People have been badmouthing Apple and predicting their imminent demise for a long time, but somehow...there were just so many “fools” and “idiots” out there who liked using their products, and...they never quite made it all the way down.

I have never spoken about someone using Microsoft products in that tone that I often see in these threads, even though I have felt that way about Microsoft and its products itself quite often.

And I always disliked the Apple commercials that suggested without saying so, that people were dupes for using Windows products.

As an IT professional, I use and work with a multitude of platforms. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Personally, I have an issue with people saying a premium for something which has the same functions, and in some cases, even fewer. THAT is my criticism with Apple and always has been. I also never understood why (10+ years ago) people would spend $300 on an mp3 player when you could buy one which does the same thing for a third of the price.
