Wildly Off-topic.

More hype, more B/S and more uncritical hero-worship than a Tony Robbins
"Event"...

Apple Store Canberra

For those of you with Family who inspire you to find/wear a Tee-shirt
bearing "No, I won't fix your computer", you now have somewhere to point
them.

You can honestly say: "If you want to fix your Windows Security
Problems, here is I solution I (and you) will be happy with."

yes, they have to buy into the Apple Ecosystem and have someone
permanently digging into their wallet, but they won't bug you nearly as
much.

[I've met enough people who are "Anything But Apple" (mostly pro-Google)
versus the "Microsoft is the One True Religion" believers]

BUT, Apple stores offer real support and real training at a modest cost.
IIRC ~$100 to buy personal support for a year.
Book on-line, go in and get personal training/help.

My sister the Somewhat Difficult Single Primary School Teacher signed up
and they were unfailingly polite and helpful to her. More than I could
do :-)

Best thing I can recommend about OS/X products: Time Machine.
A lot more than just "backups":
  snapshots and rebuild/upgrade system with single question...

If all you've ever seen/used is Winders, then Apple stuff is "Insanely
Great".

If you have some clue and are able to Think for Yourself, you're on this
list using Linux :-)

This isn't meant to be pro-Apple, nor flame-bait.

But given the nature of this list and the many types of humour and/or
philosophical position w.r.t. Software, Patents and Insanely Great
Ripoffs, I'm hoping a bunch of you will jump onto the thread and speak
your minds.

Cheers
steve

PS: Disclosure.
I own a 2006 PPC Mac Mini and a 2010 Intel Mac Mini that I use for my
daily desktop. "sacrificial security" and a way to pay the Corporate IT
Compatibility Tax (to read .doc files etc)
