Apple is by no means the worst offender in my comp quote never mind whether it works well or not" rent. The problem is, the systems are complex. And we seem to bend over backwards to allow for that, rather than expect that releases of new products might take longer, but the product will work well out of the gate. If I buy a car, it's not okay if the brakes don't work Excelerator doesn't work the heat and air conditioning don't work etc. Or maybe they work some of the time. Or in some cases, maybe something that worked well in last year's car doesn't do that in this year's car. How many people would except that? Why did we give computer developers a free pass when it comes to releasing products that don't do what they're supposed to pretty much all of the time? Consumer reports would have to give all these products a failing grade when it comes to reliability, wouldn't they? It is not just Apple. It's all of them. Mary
