knowing I have a computer..

My iMac has a 27" screen, an intel i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of
RAM, a
one terabyte hard drive and is "served" by an 8 terabyte Synology

mac and if it is only available under a MS OS, under Windows 7
under
VMware?

For most users, the hardware platform no longer is relevant.

But you don't want to swap a hard drive.

I don't need to...Apple does it for me.

jammies and in to your street clothes toi visit the apple store.

He's too much of a coward to go out of the house. He expected me to
visit his house. Of course, the coward showed his true colors when I
told him I'd meet him anywhere on public property. Notice he's too
scared to accept? Did anyone except Don expect anything other?
