My current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than adequate for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it - it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad. I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my iPhone 4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like. The phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the phone vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of their cell phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras. I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server among other things just because it is cheap to run and I always take a laptop on vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most new hotel TVs have either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies and play our tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at our vacation pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit them and upload to my web site on the road. I use my home server to stream movies and music to my laptop and iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad. You have a home server? Any PC can do that... Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of meaningful content post from "Earl." Yawn. Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server. I'm using a server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few years, but I sold that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment, it has 347 movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a handful of computers in this household. Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you. Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"? Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product? |
