This is making me somewhat sad, and not a little depressed.
I like Apple computers. They are simpler, easier and work better than nearly any IBM / Lenovo computers on the market. Not always, not in every department (Apple mainframes are woefully under-represented in quantum computing, engineering workstations outside the creative arts, weather forecasting). But what they do, they do really, really well.
And this is not an empty complaint: I still have (in storage at the moment) my original Apple IIe. Which I bought NEW, in 1981. Along with my Performa, Imac G4 (in designer violet case) and now a recent-vintage all-in-one (a gift from my father-in-law, who used it for genealogy research mostly. It wandered from my son (the original giftee) to my daughter (who gamed on it) to me.
