The mac in my view, is better for beginning computer users. Now that I'm slightly more advanced, I want more powerful applications, and way better braille support. But that is not possible with the Mac. Besides that, there are very little games for the Mac, and vmware fusion costs, whereas Linux has vmware player. So yeah, I'm slowly ascending beyond the Mac, and possibly even iOS, although I may jailbreak sooner than buy a whole other Android device.

People use them every day, and they work just fine. Some people choose not to use them, and that's fine, but just because they don't meet your needs doesn't make them bad. > > > >> On Sat, 23 Jul 2016, Justin Jones wrote: >> >> The Mac is an expensive joke.
