[Coco] KIDS REACT TO OLD COMPUTERS

[tonym]

Huh. I thought that was the general opinion of technical folks, at least all the ones I personally know.

When I got tired of having to practically work a second job at home supporting PCs, I got the wife a MacBook Pro.
3 times the price, for 1/4th the hardware capabilities, but it was simple enough for her to handle. Drop menu on the desktop for crying out loud!
How hard could it be?!?

I don’t mean to devolve this thread into a flame war, but I cannot let such a blatantly “dumb" comment go unchallenged.

Please refrain from insulting those of us on this list who use and enjoy Apple’s approach to computing. I made a decision 12 years ago to start using Apple’s computers as my primary tools and it has been the best decision I have made, hand’s down. I can assure you that others on this list who use Apple’s products do so not because they need dumbed down tech, but because it works for them.

Have some cognizance to not make such insulting remarks.
