Pretty much, but you can reduce the amount of money you spend on a computer by custom building your own. If someone prefers Mac OS X, there are even guides for building the Hackintosh, which I showed earlier.
I know that someone can, by doing what you say ... but as for myself, I just don’t have the patience or the desire to do such things. But, that’s okay for those who do.
It’s like my cars, these days ... as I used to tear into them and do all sorts of work on them. I’m tired of that now and just want something that works, and someone does the work on it, when necessary. And there are a lot of people like me, when it comes to their desktop and iOS systems, too ... they just want something that works, without undue fiddling to get it done ... :-) ...
