To: itsahoot; raybbr; null and void

Well, well, well.

And you demonstrate my point for some self serving, aggressive reason and presume so much that I never said, implied and have no history of.

1. Woz has been a good friend for some 25 years plus. I even introduced him to a good friend who is a blonde bombshell.

2. I get to hear about all that is Apple from all my friends and various cult followers of Woz.

3. Apple makes a superiour product to anything Microsuck platform.

4. Apple is always the innovator and first market maker because their products aren’t for people who like to RTFM, like me.

5. We have an original Powerbook and G4 that was given to us by Woz. Don’t know where they are but, they are likely in storage and probably next to my Mac SE.

6. We also have an original Ipod and Nano, also given to us by Woz and some newer models which we purchased.

7. We have a MacAir and two Iphone’s in the house, none of which I use. We even have an Apple TV.

8. Apple users get high whenever Apple puts out some update to their IOS or whenever they release a new product and I have to hear about it ad naseum and how superior they are.(which is true)

I however use Microsuck products for reasons I’ll explain later.

9. No one made me click on anything and I asked to be on “Swordmaker’s” ping list.

10. When I started using computers 30 years ago Microsuck platforms were the accepted standard for communicating and productivity tools in the business world. So I defaulted to using what was easiest and still do even though you can finally use cross platforms for those things these days.

I also was a gamer back in the day and Apple wasn’t a platform for that and I got really good building gaming machines. You couldn’t do that with Apple.

11. I included “null and void” on this ping list as he can vouch for everything above.

12. I just got an email from a friend who is all giddy about the new IOS.

13. I also have my original gaming machine that ran on 486 DX2 that I custom built and Woz put a sticker on that reads “It smells inside”.

finally, your post demonstrates my original post.

“Apple, Apple, Apple! It’s the best man! Can’t believe you don’t use Apple! and on and on”.

Now, feel free to respond on your tiny Iphone screen, that has more apps than anyone will ever use.

Oh, and Apple isn’t just the first to market and market maker. While Samsung outsells Apple at this time, they have the lowest profit margins, while Apple makes nearly 8 times more per device.

And you demonstrate my point

You had a point? Who knew?
