The Apple of .....

Just bought 2 more MacBook Pros. I don't care who stole what 20+ years ago. I just need stuff to work.

Microsoft claimed they had input to the original MacOS. Questionable, but hard to determine the truth. There was a lawsuit, but Microsoft had deeper pockets than Apple at the time and prevailed. Lisa was out in 83, and had just about all the GUI attributes already.

I got Windows 8 up and running reasonably well.....still learning it.
I get a free switch to Windows 10 when it comes out in 3-4 weeks>

THEY say it's better but. I should be fairly conversant with Windows 8 about then.......Change for the sake of change has never been my cup of tea.....but I never went to college.

I got a few pics working, I'll give it a shot.

Comfortable on either platform but like my Mac better. I don't want to be a programmer, just want together my work done

I replace my PC's generally every 5-7 years; have never had one crap out on me. Once, I had a CD drive give up on me, but I did take that computer to Kuwait/Iraq/Afghanistan and subjected it to some gnarley sand storms, so that could have been the culprit. Aside from that, the computer was as good as it had been on day one (it was an Alienware).
