This machine served me well but I would like to have a proper machine for creativity and work related purposes. I wish I had a Macbook.

I don't think a Mac is necessary for creativity

All kinds of writing apps and photography ones too. Not to mention art apps. The ones on Android suck.

> good thing Windows isn't Android

Over at many a Q office building and labs and offices there are many many Window Machines from Microsoft that are in FACT Now Android and More

Now running on a fully functional ARM based Chip aka Snapdragon AND Machines sold for test market in UK last year with
“Netflix streaming with LTE, we’re looking at 28, 29 hours playback." We’re looking at all-day computing with everything on in excess of 16, 17, 18 hours.”

Now and not yet ready for market are the ones with over 100 hours of playback - Not ready cause the 5G version in Beta+ depends on a fully built out Verizon Network - No way any Intel based version can do Netflix streaming for even 6 hours except right out of the box and after a few months that may get you to two movies before the machine craps out for charge.

Did I forget to say the Arm based Snapdragon is Android? Of course it is - but it can still simulate X86 for the API-Apps as needed

At Qualcomm Inc employees without exception have a choice of Apple Vs MS
And one can mix with Desktop as one and tablet or other hand held

I chose and still choose MS - However I notice in many travels that people that do Graphics in the so many forms I C - They use Apple

Much like the days where WordPerfect was the GO2Choice for Word Processing because WP courted the Legal Profession and the huge number of HotKeys and shortcuts and Micro programs MACRO Keys - Took 4Ever for law offices to switch to MS Word

Betting but only a guess that Apple makes Fonts more available - maybe that has changed? Could ask Alexa but so close to days end and afternoon where FUN FUN off net begins

Yes that's because osx is better not because software isn't available on windows

This will be my last reply of the Day/Nite for Sat 3-14-2020

OS X of course was 4Ever a UNIX based O/S and I am from the GetGo of my Start as BSEE Engineer a UNIX user and Fan - Back from IBM Punchcards and the 360 patch panel that offered so much for so little work - UNIX the very same UNIX that when I need to send commands to a Satellite OR if Verizon lets me which is not so much so often - A command to change a item in the Verizon Cell phone system - Or Land lines - Same commands to do an on off switch change on a land line - any component in system on land like or Satellites it's totally UNIX in its totally PURE form - Just Brilliant and with my Dyslexia it keeps me from doing Stupid Stuff

C++ started out as FORTRAN and if not for UNIX I wood have been fired back in the early 60's

ALAS OS X LOST it's way under current managers and they were pushed by Intel hard as all fuck to make the move away from UNIX - Now with Intel having intestinal Sex with Apple and fucking Apple over with sloppy 2nds attempt at competing with Qualcomm and then Apple has to slow phones to save the battery and Apple discovers all the work on new OS X and Intel pulling out of Intestinal Sex with Apple and ditching Mobile as a business LoL - Anyway a guess just an Educated Guess - Apple will soon find the need to return to UNIX and UNIX is of course the Android Choice

Admitting that Google Android ain't the pure UNIX It once waz but then again educated guess is that for 5G Pixel for instance will be more like the OLD UNIX it was not so long ago.

One more pass around the Planet and will C if my UNIX Command to the Bird takes and holds - Guessing some Black Hole X-Ray burst is the culprit but one never really has a clue unless its Co~Wink~E~Dink with a SunSpot burst

My wall of texts is so connected to my work Multi-tasking - at least tteh changes in this software has improved my ability to take 30 mins on a reply and not end up with a loss of my cough cough quality text reply

OH Fonts - I was under the impression that OS X when it came to Video Editing was the Cats Meow and for graphic people they had more choices of Fonts but that may be just one MAC user giving me info that could be their opinion only
