[Buck passing between Microsoft and PC clone vendors] is pretty much in the past. It was very difficult and took years to perfect. But by now with Windows Ten and even before, Microsoft is ultra coordinated with the major computer manufacturers as far as the OS working seamlessly with the hardware.

Steve Jobs’ approach saved AAPL all that difficulty and made the money to finance the initial development of the iPhone.

Apple long been in the hardware-software business. Has one out of two feet in the processor business. Soon will be 95% in the processor business except for contracting out to foundry (Samsung?) to actually manufacture them.

I am needing my 4th apple brand OEM keyboard. Got talked into a wireless Logitech. Call apple & they don't do tech support on 3rd party products. Called Logitech & their number no longer working; they only do tech support via email. Will see if BB can help tomorrow. Want to return the Logiteh, no patience for all the problems any more.

I need all my USB ports on back and need the right one on apple keyboard I jerryrigged the most functional broken one for wired mouse and left USB port on kb for other stuff.

Where is the Ser# on the slim alum keyboard? Can't see very well even w/old magnifying glass. TIA

Found a workaround to type while I'm trying to get this resolved. Any suggestions re the keyboard?

Well, you have been helpful in the past, and I appreciate that. Thsnk you. Found a good solution for me. Ordered a Matias silver from bhphotovideo, arrive in 2 days, $60 rounded.

Had a heck of a time getting a return label printed and had to get help from apple. Again. Ended up sharing a screen. Very helpful rep and got my label printed.

Now to figure out what to do about FEDEX, pick it up at my house (I often don't hear the door) or take to a facility. Will have to check some things out about that.

Apple brand new available at BB elsewhere are wireless in case anyone is interested. Hard to find an apple brand wired any more, one at amazon for $135.
