I've tried and just cant quite get along with the apple OS.This thread is going to regress into an Apple vs. Everything Else debate because of Mike. But I will say that my non-Apple phone and non-Apple laptop when I bought both were much faster / had better hardware and were half the price (my Dell was actually 1/3rd the price) of the nearest competing Apple products. My Dell XPS Studio laptop is still going strong 3 years later. And the old Dell that I bought from John off of this board probably 6 years ago? still works great. I just never use it because some software issue doesn't allow it to connect to the internet anymore. I imagine if I upgraded from Windows 2000 or whatever it was on it would be fine :mrgreen:
