I'm not sure who this is addressed to, but I've absolutely never indicated that I would never touch an Apple device. In fact, the last time I purchased a laptop, I was debating between a MabBook and an Asus. If anything, everything I've ever said has been counter to this statement. I'm all for, and always have been, going with whatever meets your needs. I've even cautioned people stating things in extremes, such as "I'll never use a ...." I myself am too pragmatic to rule out any device that might make my life or job easier and you'll never know how technology will change in the future.
I've also found Sieghard to be a pretty level headed thinker with some well thought out ideas. I find it hard to believe that such a person would have ever ruled out all Apple devices.
