...there are two camps: one that just wants a tool to use and one that wants to customize every setting. Seems like Apple is the former and Android/PC the latter and there is plenty of room for both. I spent the past week on my off days trying to stabilize the tour manager's Dell after a worm intrusion and I was so glad to get back to my powerbook...

So it seems like I just want my devices to work without fiddling so I can fiddle with my bikes :-)



Here's the thing. That sounds very nice but it just isn't so. I could never get my Mac to connect to ANYTHING that didn't have an Apple logo on it. Every time I'd spend endless amounts of time trying to get it to connect or print or you name it my wife would laugh and say, "Apple, it just works." Obviously, I didn't buy it to hate it, but that was the outcome.
When I would go to the dismal 'Help' to troubleshoot connection issues all it said was to hit the 'connect' button. Well, no s**t, but what about when it doesn't?
I'm glad folks like them. Competition is good for the industry. But there is a reason they never get above, what, a 5 percent market share for computers.
When I worked for the school system, initially, there were Macs everywhere. Ten years later there wasn't one to be found because the schools had to interact with the outside world and we just couldn't with the Macs.
