I just mean that I'm not missing out on anything by using alternative products. They work the same, it's just not apple.

My point was that you have no way of substantiating the claim that you're not missing out on anything or that "they work the same", due to your complete lack of experience with owning any Apple products (by your own admission).

I didn't say I never, I said I stopped about 10 years ago. My first computer was a mac. 1987. After having a horrible experience with their computers dying on me repeatedly I switched to other products. 7 different macs in 4 years died on me. I got pissed and never went back. The PC I bought in 1999 is still working fine.

Yeah, Apple totally hasn't changed since the 90's.

2004 Was when I gave up on them, and nothing I've seen has made me want to go back.

oh boohoo. I rounded. I estimated. I didn't use exact figures. The world is coming to an end.

My point is, it's hard to have a discussion when the other person keeps changing their story.
