    It's fair to call my stuff about Apple trolling, even though I
    really do mean what I say if you take it the right way, the real
    point I'm making is that Apple is about grift, exploit the first
    worlders, take their money, people will say that about "M$" but yet
    they actually put something back into the market.

    My only response is that Apple, since the very beginning, humanized
    technology. The first Apple made it possible for people to see what
    their computer can produce on a screen, the Apple ][ offered colour
    and easy expandability, the Mac eliminated the need to learn
    commands, the iPod removed the need for disks and made music
    management a lot easier, Mac OS X allowed for greater security and
    stability in the operating system and the Mx series of chips
    significantly increased processing power while also significantly
    increasing battery life and reducing noise. That is giving back.

    They give back ideas and standards, yes.ÿ Sometimes making a
    difference, admittedly.ÿ Microsoft is more of the constant renewing of
    imagination, though.

    Name something Microsoft has done that can be considered imaginative.


    I think Win11 was a pretty sweet revamp, personally. I had a Win10 box assembled months earlier, as with the COVID stimulus thing, perfect
    person to upgrade immediately and see what I thought, and I'm using it
    today on my mini PC, so they must've done something right.
