Oh here we go, they haven’t released it yet and you’re all already bitchng
about it.
How many people did I hear piss and moan years ago when touch screens came out.
Oh I must have a physical keyboard. Phones will be inaccessible with out
physical keyboards, I need to have a screen reader to install in my phone to
use with my physical keyboard. Then bam, Apple releases the iphone and here we
are all using touch screens.
Then people bitched about the loss of the old multi pin connector in
place of the lightning and it hasn’t even happened yet but people cry about the
loss of the headphone jack and now this touch bar. Stop it already. Unless
you’ve used one you can’t comment with any degree of meaning on whether it’s
any good or not. Let the product come out, let people review it first or jump
in like some of us do but try it before you bash it. With the line of thinking
on this list sometimes we’d all still be using holes punched in paper and an
abacus trying to get jobs at Google. An the first person who says the abacus
is better than a scientific calculator or beads are our friends or what ever
gets smacked about the head and shoulders with a trout until they stop.:)
I’m tired of it. IF you want to be luddites that’s fine and your choice but
come on, the same old tune is getting old. Ihave a PDP-11 taking up space if
anyone wants it to get off the progress band wagon.
