    there is still stuff to laugh at them about, like not letting the sun spark get OSX, but the server osx is much cleaner and closer to BSD than the client os is

    I dont restrict with image verification or time limit, finding information without squinting at jumbled up letters.

    Maybe we will be on SSD soon, already looking at options/candidates.
    Ahh ok. Good to hear. Yea I help out on another large board 100+k members and I know the searches start to kill the server after a while. So we put a 20 second search limit in.

    How much would that cost? SSDs are expensive...

    Yeah there's definitely still plenty wrong or laughable with Apple-can we not say that about any major corporation?-but their hardware and OS has improved leaps and bounds since the mid 90s when I first started supporting them professionally. And the recent switch to Intel was the most major leap ahead in terms of raw performance gain that I've ever seen. Finally my users working with 2GB+ Photoshop files with Illustrator and InDesign and Notes in the background and 50 browser windows open performing various processes really see and feel a dramatic difference with their new machines compared to any time before. And they can run Windows if need be. And vm really "works" now. I could go on...

    And, yeah, they're still pretty

    "To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."

    something along the line of this, but even someone with connections would probably have to remortgage the entire neighbourhood for it
