    I feel like I went to the dark side

    What I mean is I got my first Apple pad.
    I haven't even taken it out of box yet, because when I do
    that's when my brain goes soft and it all changes. It is said
    once you that place there is no coming back!
    Oh God help me what do I do?

    Four rounds from a 45 should take care of it and keep you safe.

    I have Apple products in this house, but because of their political donation habits, I'll never buy another one.

    In all due respect, isn't that kind of "narrow minded" to a point...If they make great products, which they do, what difference does it really make!!!...Regards

    Well, "things matter" to some folks. I have not watched football since some decided to show disrespect, and I was a football fan, big time. How to avoid Apple and Google, that is a big issue.

    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

    Thee BEST by far laptop and phone I have ever owned. Not one problem unlike win blows.
    They don't give info to the feds.
    Its a little different, but easy to get around.
    You go to the top menu to close programs and things are categorized.
    The phone and laptop actually link up nice. You have face time. nice and secure.
    And Apple routers are as fast or faster and trouble free as any of the others.
    The best thing I did was put a digital drive in the laptop. Talk about fast, blows the old hdd away.
    You will like it in time.
    ITS ALL GOOD
