I do have Apple stuff, and I have since way before it was fashionable. I started off hating Macs - I grew up with mainframes and then naturally went to DOS. But once I figured it out, the Mac was far superior in a key way - what you saw was what you got, on any printer. In those days, DOS files would be 4 pages on one printer, 6 pages on another. You couldn't predict how anything would show up. The only way to get WYSIWYG, as I recall, was a new thing called Ventura Publisher running on the GEM Desktop - out of my reach in cost of equipment and software. I stuck with them all these years because they were just easier to use and to maintain, and the hardware seemed to last forever. I'd watch my PC friends fighting their computers and replacing parts over and over...
Keeping in mind I am now, and always have been, quite good at using computers. I do program, I do use Linux, I do use the BSD UNIX interface on modern Macs, and I was good enough at DOS that the temp agencies sent me to any company using stuff nobody else knew. (I didn't know it either at first, I could usually learn it before my boss found any deficiency.) I was sent to Margaretten Mortgage because they used an HP mainframe for word processing, to Engelhard because they used SAMNA (them and the Coast Guard!), and so on. I knew WordPerfect very well, and got to learn Word for DOS well enough to be sent to the companies that only took the best.
I stuck with Macs during the dark days of the PowerPC, between the terrific 68040s and the terrific G3s, when we had the dismal PPC chips between - I never actually owned of those but they were just awful. The G3... it was like when the Hemi V8 first made its appearance. Or when Cerberus first took Chrysler from Daimler. I had held onto my 68040LC pizza-box Quadra 605, which used 30 watts of power - peak - to do what the lesser Pentiums did. Then the G3 which finally delivered the promised speed boost of the PPC series.
Today it's a Mac Mini 8,1 which outperforms my old 12-core Mac Pro (2010) thanks to the weird internals. Just sits there quietly on the desk, making no noise most of the time... and a 2012 laptop that’s never faltered. Along with some ancient iPods (a couple of first-gen Shuffles, a couple of the ones with spinning hard drives, and one original Nano)... and two old iPhones I use for general purposes and an old used one I use as my phone.
None of this has anything to do with fashion. I don't wear the white headphones and never did. iPods had the best sound reproduction of anything made in its day, at least the early one with the better DACs did, and it would be a terrible waste to use those rubbish headphones with them. Again, I used Macs when they were the butt of jokes, when Michael Dell said Apple should be dissolved and the money given to the shareholders. But dang, Toy Story was a great movie, and as much as I curse at MacOS Ventura, I curse more at Windows when I have to use it. What is it about elegant user interfaces that eludes those guys? I'd just as soon as some half-baked Linux desktop variant (which is to say, a Linux desktop variant).
