Hi Gromett, nice to meet you.........
I think between us we have discovered why some people like apple computers and some don't. You probably knew this already though. The fact is, you know what your talking about and I don't. But that's probably the point. I have no idea what a BSOD is and have never seen a Linux outside of a zoo. I'll never know what apple are hiding from me as I'll never demand from my computerised gizmo's anything more than say 10% of what they can offer. I guess that was perhaps a large part of Mr Jobs intended strategy. Please the idiots who care more about how it looks than how it works. I don't even have to open my Macbook Air to enjoy it.
The fact that my mother is skyping me is chillingly satisfying. And it's only possible because Apple hid those bits that we plebs have no idea exist. (I was always taught never to put 'And' after a full stop but there seems to have been a shift in that stern dictate so I'm enjoying breaking the law. Oh how I wish my English teacher was still alive)
Function is very important to me and most things I own function as I wish. But I really do enjoy the 'object' and perhaps I have to admit to feeling a certain tribal security in knowing that others feel the same way. I'm a sucker for a cleverly marketed 'thing' which also looks good. I wish I knew more about computers but my brain really is struggling to juggle the shite that flies through it on a second by second basis so learning more will have to wait.
I have heard of Linux and because of you Gromett I am going to spend the next few hours boffing up on it to see if I can elevate my computer status a tad. But unless you can tell me I can use it on my Air, I doubt I will. Please don't tell me I can as I will have to de-fib my learning gene back into life and that I can't have. Cheers!
