I would have been a lot more impressed if they had also, *at the same time*, developed, prototyped and conducted phase 1 clinical trials of a COVID-19 vaccine...especially with all the room in the spacious A8 sedan they used.

Gaining ground. I see what you did there. Nice one.

I tried to post first from my iPhone but...you know.

I, for one, welcome our new quantum computing overlords.

For some time I have contemplated converting to Mac and this episode about converting to windows 10 finally pushed me over the edge. I am posting this from a MacBook Pro, which I totally love. I had a laptop that needs a few older drivers for whatever reason and I could not get Windows 10 to stop updating to the latest every time I fixed something. Then during a security update the update did not complete and froze my drive in an un-usable condition - I couldn't boot, couldn't complete the update, couldn't use the drive. I ended up getting a new drive, installing a new windows 10 instance and mounting the old drive in a drive box just to recover my files. That was going on during a critical time when I had some work deadlines in connection with a presentation to a national meeting of a surgical association and I just could not believe I had to deal with all this at such a critical time. Calling Microsoft and working with one of their techs did me no good. The other thing that drove me nuts was that from my perspective Windows 10 really became a platform for pushing more stuff at me to buy, with adware built into the operating system and constant reminders to upgrade or update office, etc., it was now really an OS for MS, not for getting stuff done for me. It was too much.

So when my lap top did a recent auto-update to the most recent flavor of windows 10 it broke my laptop. Had to buy a new drive, re-load a new copies of windows, then mount the old drive to recover my files. Then the laptop re-updated again despite my taking pains to turn off auto-update. Once again my laptop was made useless. That's my mac conversion story. I have never regretted switching and will never buy another windows machine again if I can help it. Microsoft seems to be all about being Microsoft as an advantage to Microsoft and then excuse their poor product and abysmal user experience by saying marketing double speak things like, "The result is a compromised experience that is less reliable and predictable." Well, I can tell you what else is predictable. If you screw the customer too often, they take their money elsewhere.
