Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

Windows sucks. But running a machine that you can get fixed without apple reaching into your soul and extracting net worth is pretty fly.

Really what can you change on your machine that I can not change on mine?

Here is a master's thesis and PhD dissertation. Published long ago in various formats but can I recycle this media even though it can no longer be read? Hell no. The struggle is real.

Once upon a time those were 5 1/4 and actually floppy but before that we had large tape drives LOL oh how the times changed. I still have an Iomega Jazz drive.

I was a trainer for Wang word processors in another life. I was temping for dough in college around the time they came out. I walked into their corporate lobby and asked for training and they. So I went around to high powered law firms and lobbyists (this was in DC) and showed their people how to do it, different place every week. 7 inch floppies for sure (forgot the point of this post for a minute)

I hear all the time how you can't work on Apple machines. I've built many computers and I've worked on every single Apple I've owned down to changing motherboards. It was a serious question. What can't you change on an Apple machine that you can change on a generic machine?

Yours specifically, dunno. But the average apple machine is less customizable for a reasonable price, and some require specialized tools, so adding parts can be frustrating. I switch between OSs every now and then, but windows is easy for game compatibility, so i usually run it.

The tools are relatively inexpensive. The parts are a little more but they seem to last longer than the same parts I've used on my Windows boxes. For gaming Windows makes perfect sense.

What I want is a better hybrid machine for the photoshoppers PLUS Gamers. Both benefit from a beefy system... media programming is pretty lacking elsewhere

Apple M1's can now dual boot. So you could run a dual boot system. I bought the very last Intel version of Apple's iMac because I wasn't sure how long it would take to shake out their new M1 chip. That would be a very nice option if you set up a dual boot system. Best of both worlds, Windows for gaming and MacOS for robust Adobe product support.

Although I have to say I've found GIMP to be every bit as good as Photoshop.

I taught Solaris 10 for awhile, I learned that I am not a software person and needed to stick with hardware.

Goooood morning!! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Harvest day for Tropicana Cookies.

I have as many basic intel machines as I do Macs and use them equally for both *nix and Windows. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I couldn't get by without them and I've made the most money on Windows. So I don't mind Windows at all.

Solaris was a good OS and most of the servers I ran after I left AOL were run off that platform. This was back when it was still owned by Sun.
