   Uh, people can, and do, change their minds when circumstances change.   
   That was explained in my post, asshole.   
      
   If you look back through CSMA on Google Groups and here you will see   
   that I have been leaning towards Apple products for some time now. I   
   have owned Apple phones and tablets for almost 9 years now. Of course, I   
   still use Office 365 and Google apps too. Not native Apple apps. The   
   video editor is VideoPad, not Final Cut Pro. My external monitor is not   
   Apple. It's a very nice 4K Dell for 20% of the cost of cheapest Apple   
   display. My TV sets are mostly LG all on Roku, not Apple TV. We use   
   Google Home, not Apple's version. I do have Air Tags though.   
      
   I'm a Macaholic, not an irrational Appleaholic! I buy what does the job   
   for me at costs I deem reasonable, not by blind brand loyalty. YMMV. And   
   almost certainly does.   
      
   And don't come back with Linux.
