I've come to the conclusion that nothing - and I mean nothing - is absolute. Doesn't matter if it's an iPad, a car, a house. Nothing! There's only degrees of 'finished' and 'ready'. It's just a shame that a lot of stuff is in such a poor state of readiness before it is released onto us shmucks. We're the real test-beds for anything and everything. These days, I buy something and I fully expect to have to adapt it or modify it to meet my standards. To be fair, I find most Apple stuff works really well. My current MacBook pro, a 2012 vintage, is faultless and keeps going. Although I did pop an SSD into it, but that's not modification, just a little updating. Housekeeping, if you like. I found the iPhones generally worked pretty well, but eventually tired of them. My BlackBerry KeyOne is the best phone I've ever had - including the 6 previous iPhones since 2007 and various Palms and whatnot before that. But I keep a foot in the Apple world with an iPad Mini 2 which does a good job. When it eventually dies though, I'll probably replace it with a Samsung Tab. I like the Android stuff. Feels like walking around a Souq instead a state-run shopping mall. A while back I bought a sextant. I'm *really* looking forward to learning to use that :-) And to learn, I will pick up .... a book. Peace and good night all -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
