Please don’t confuse fan of Apple with Apple Fanboy
It’s been a little over 5 years since I shunned the PC world and bought my first Apple, a G5 PowerMac. I say “first Apple” because there’s little doubt in my mind that, unless there’s a substantial drop in quality and/or service, I will buy another in the future. Of the computers I have owned [...]
