My neighbor, a snowbird from Germany and I have had this

bother me
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
server. Gee, I wonder what apps significant to me I can't run on

this
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.

*Well that's an inconvenience for you. You have to get out if your
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?- Hide quoted text -

Well.. I expected you to be hiding behind Snotty's skirt... and looks
like I was right...... as usual!
