Them Apple Switchers

in poetry •  9 years ago  (edited)
About them Apple Switchers,
ain't they well-informed
goin' to and frow,
switchn' they platform.

Them banjo pickin' Apple Switchers,
see how much they spent?
They switch to stop blue screens of death
or just to Think Different.

Look at all those Apple Switchers,
hey they even chicks!
Some just switch to make a point,
some just for the kicks.

How to be an Apple Switcher,
if you want to know?
Take a trip to Apple's store
and pony up the dough.

I had no idea you wrote these. As for the content of this poem. Ten years ago I would beg my family and friends to switch, five years ago I would recommend they switch, today I would tell them it is still better, but it is not what it once was. This is very pronounced on iOS. The OS is bloated, not intuitive, not as stable as it should be, not as anything. Apple needs to slow way down on innovation and ramp way up on perfection.

I'm right there with you. I have a MacMini Server from 2011, and it's holding up great. It's one OS version back. "Modesto" or something (I stopped caring what the names actually were after Snow Leopard).

It was one of the last MacMini Servers. Last month was the very first time I hooked up a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to it. Prior to that, everything was done on Remote Desktop, including its initial setup.

That last part impressed me very much. Apple took the time to implement a remote desktop in their "BIOS" so that you could then get it up and running on a proper network. If you can still do that now, it's not because they're innovative, but because they were at one time.

I will never switch back. #appleforlife

Cute. Money well spent, and I wasn't even running from the blue screen.
