Sorry, make that some of the brightest guys I have known were Apple dudes. My fingers had to be put in manual override mode to type that.

We had apple II and Lisa in college for assembly language but quickly switched to PCs for the rest of the program. I have never been proficient with an Apple past the Apple IIe product line. Never owned a Mac. I am sure I would like them too if I had to become proficient. But for me, it is kinda like Miracle Whip vs Mayo. I am a Miracle Whip kinda guy.

Most SysAdmins/Network admins/programmers I know use Mac’s since its core is built on Unix. But I hated supporting it during my WISP days too. I just bought a brand new Dell though, but have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5s. What does that make me *dazed and confused*? I also have a RB2011 as my home router and a Ubnt UniFi AP AC as my home Wi-Fi. I am weird lol.
