John,

NO, you are NOT the only one who thinks Apple is responsible. But we have
a bunch of sycophantic cheerleaders (and that's beginning to look like a
compliment after reading Mr Pourdman's callous post, to which I won't
even bother responding) who have usurped this list (and some others too).

The reason we have to mess around and waste hours of our valuable time is
because for years we've been told that Apple is  superior to that "other
company's OS" and that they suffer from all sorts of ailments while we
are relegated to enjoying "perpetual sunshine". Those who complained about
stuff not working were condescendingly told that they are ignorant newbies
who are to blame forwhatever ailments they have encountered on their Mac
OS, OR - if they dared complain after that hosing - told to just go and
use Windows if they are so dissatisfied. Since we've all tolerating this
garbage for so long without any challenge...well...here we are.

Best,

Henry
