I feel like I went to the dark side

[opas ride]

No offense taken, my friend. It's all good.

But 'narrow minded'? I think not.
I believe having the courage of one's convictions in all manner of living - including what businesses to patronize - is the ONLY way to live a healthy life.
It's just like I will not have an American flag flying from my Japanese motorcycle.
Yes, I bought a Japanese motorcycle, but I still look at it with some shame at times.
Yes, I bought a Harley Davidson, and I look at it with shame sometimes too - for being American and yet willfully not being better.

I can avoid Apple, so I shall.
I can avoid many things, so I do.
Some things cannot be avoided, but it doesn't mean they are the right thing. (i.e. why do we always vote for the 'lesser of the two evils' in our elections?)

So, 'narrow"? Nah. Conscientiously enlightened? Perhaps.
Cheers,
Steve

Win? Nah. It's all trade-offs.
I have an iPad and I'm currently typing this from an iMac.
Apple has the ONLY iPad app for my Presonus 24 channel mixer that allows me to mix bands remotely from the audience area.
So, a necessary evil, and to thicken the dough, because it is so 'old' - still has the 'fat plug' - it doesn't update anymore and that tends to frost my cookies.

Anyway, tech is just another tool set, not a lifestyle.
Motorcycle riders "get that."
Cheers,
Steve
