EEOS re: Mac computers

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 17:54 on July 27, 2016  

I have owned nothing but Apple computers since 1984 when I bought my first Macintosh ( 128 K ! LOL ) . That summer I wrote my first Pascal code , modeling some water chemistry parameters . They never gave me a problem , but like many corporations , mine resisted using Apple products – I think because our IT group were threatened by the fact that Mac’s were plug and play , and they saw that as a threat .

In recent years though , I have been disillusioned . Free storage on .mac gave way to mobile me (.me) and users were warned to download stored files , because they would not be transferred to the new servers . Then iCloud was introduced . SSDD ! Download ’em or lose ’em .

In the latest OSX version I was told that I could not access my own HD because I was not ‘authorized’ . They want all files on iCloud for the revenue from storage . Having been through that game before …no thanks ! Now it seems to be catching up to Apple ( see my previous post ) . They have had great success with iPod , iPhone and iPad , but Cook is not the visionary that Jobs was . Handheld devices suffice for most users now . The market is leaving Desktops and Laptops , the former breadwinners for Apple .

EOF ….remember those days , to indicate the end of a program ?
