There's a bit more to it than you morons can
conjure, eh?

I am still a desktop guy but my wife is a road
warrior with a
mobile
something or two all the time. The thing that is
significant
about
Apple is the price never drops and they advance in
baby steps.
Even my German friend (remember the conversation
that ended
in me
being a hobbyist) has started to think that the
rigid
architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't
want to
know he
had a computer.


I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding
edge" desktop
machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those
concerns
faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems
more
than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for
$$$, emails,
web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price
right now
and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I
suppose,
but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's
certainly more than
adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am
thinking of
selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new
iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I
"jailbroke" my
iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App
store apps I
like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though
I wish the
phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone"
aspect of
their
cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in
cameras.


I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server
among
other
things just because it is cheap to run and I always
take a
laptop on
vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most
new hotel TVs
have
either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies
and play
our
tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at
our vacation
pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit
them and
upload to
my web site on the road.


I use my home server to stream movies and music to my
laptop and
iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad.
You have a home server? Any PC can do that...

Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of
meaningful
content
post from "Earl."

Yawn.

Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server.
I'm using a
server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few
years, but I
sold
that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment,
it has 347
movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to
back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you.

Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"?

Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product?



Pirated movies?

I think it is worse than that, content of a subject matter.


I admit to having a large collection of actual Sarah Palin
video clips
in my "Humor" folder.

Are you having trouble getting it up?

Don't you remember a number of years ago Harry complained
about only
seeing penis pills advertisements when he surfed the Internet.
When it
was pointed out to Harry that he was the recipient of targeted
advertising based upon his surfing history he stopped telling
us about
the ads he is presented with.

I remember that clearly... He was getting sex toys too...


I hear your dick isn't long enough to *be* a sex toy...

Is that from comparisons of your collection of 347 movies?




Well, he's right... But it's disturbing to wonder how he knows
that.. I
guess Harry really is the most proficient stalker here.

Most prolific too.
