Anymore, anyway.<\/p>\n
I do remember clearly the moment when I cracked open the tape on the box containing my very first computer, an Apple 2E. I remember playing the simple games that came with it, I remember typing thousands of words using the very crude word processor. I remember using the word\/mailmerge\/etc pretty much at it’s capacity, straining the software at it’s very seams to do the things I needed done. <\/p>\n
These days, I rarely find a feature missing in a piece of software; if I want to do something, chances are that some geek in an office three thousand miles away has already planned for my need. <\/p>\n
Most of what I do cannot be done on an Apple, the better engineering software etc. is written for PC only, and most of the software used to communicate with machine tools, PLC’s, etc. is written exclusively for PC.<\/p>\n
If, on the other hand, all I ever did with a computer was surf, type, look at pictures and video, I’d be getting an apple. The Imac is rocketship fast for what it does, and for 90% of the population, is the best computer they can buy. The UNIX based OS is what the platform lacked from the beginning, and now it has it. <\/p>\n
I’m not a fanboi of either platform. They’re tools. Use the one that works for you. Frankly, the day I have adequate wealth to allow me never to touch an electronic device again will be the happiest day of my life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
