Well, I was a Unix guy. My office had a windows machine, but my main box was a SCO Unix system. I detested Windows, but there were things I needed it for. My customers often had windows as Unix clients, so I had to have some expertise there.
Then Apple switched to Intel, I bought a MacBook the very moment I could. Unix shell!! Graphical interface! Portable! Take my money!
I bought the very first iPad the same day they started accepting orders, The iPad and the Mac were my constant companions. I didnโt buy an iPhone until the 5, and my first Apple TV was not until 2016.
Now I have HomePods, AirPods, AirPod Proโs and lots of HomeKit.
Yes, itโs the ecosystem that makes Apple great. Nobody else can touch it.
