I moved to mac long before there were ‘apps.’ I went through MS-DOS, DR-DOS, early linux versions, minix, trying to get Solaris to run on a 386 processor, etc. When Mac came out with os x (2001?), which was based on BSD, i switched. FInally a solid Unix/posix system that also did all the consumer stuff well (browser, audio, graphics, word processing). I have an iphone now just because it works well with my mac.

In the house we have windows, linux, mac, ios, android, etc in part so my children can celebrate diversity.

Right...so you of all should know Macs were never a big dev platform until the iPhone took off and they required a mac to publish to the app store.

…because it works well with my Mac.” Posterchild, if you heard Merrick Garland, that is one of the very things the DOJ is accusing Apple of being in criminal violation of the anti-trust anti-competitive actions that are the basis of this suit. Apple Products work well together with other Apple products to the exclusion of other non-Apple products and that is a criminal act. Apple should make the iPhone and its other products work equally well with every other product, regardless of how safe and secure they might be. Insane leftist thinking.
