Not really. My first and only step is to C. The PC world is to unpredictable for it to be anywhere in the equation. Not a good example but here is one example. Apple *USED* to make a very reliable OS. It was absolutely rock hard. Then came Sierra and it is no better than a windows PC now. I am close to chucking it and go with LINUX I am so disgusted with Apple sending out bug after bug after bug. The updates come about once every 2 weeks it is that bad. Right now they have a bug in MAIL.APP that is crippling my productivity. It actually takes me an extra two hours every day because of the damn bug. I would never bet on the PC world (except against it). IOW paper beats rock.
