Oh wait you are an Apple fan, you know exactly what that means.

Again with rude insults, the mark of scoundrels who can't handle debating points. Unbecoming.

I have worked on many platforms, believing in using the widest range of tools available to get the job done. You believe in using a narrow range of tools, unfortunate for you. I was an engineer working on IBM mainframes, as well as many mini and micro platforms. Also a network engineer having to connect different platforms to each other. Also was a Windows and NT administrator with a team working under me to build, roll out and support hundreds of servers and desktops. My use of PCs goes back to the beginning days of DOS, and I have worked with every version of Windows and NT. I have a copy of OS/2 sitting right in front of me. Did stints writing code for Wang, IVPhase and other platforms. Also administered Cisco routers since they first came out in the early 90s.

So what have you worked on, other than insulting others?

I work on people who pick something minor, exaggerate it as a down fall, then surreptitiously point out that iPads you have to purchase the keyboard separately as well..after you try and insult my intelligence nonetheless. That’s what I do.
In real life I am a microbiologist,CLS, Army Veteran(82C,88M), been building and selling PC’s for years as a hobby and for extra income to fellow soldiers, family and friends and on the internet. I started out a huge Apple fan but hate and I mean hate the closed nature of their desktop offerings. I don’t mind them in the personal conveyance space, it is very beneficial for any company to keep a homogenized ecosystem for hardware for stuff like phones and tablets and even laptops, but PC’s would simply lose innovation at it’s core when.
