Seems to negate the advantages of sticking to a highly fenced and proprietary system. Anyway, a Mac is a non starter for me because I play a lot of RPGs....:-) Incidentally, the OS that gives me the maximum number of headaches today is IOS 9 on my Ipad Mini 128GB - they are bringing out an update a week (we are already on 9.02), but programs like Gmail still freeze for no rhyme or reason a few times a day. If it were not so convenient, I would junk it. As it is, being lazy, I am locked in and stuck with it for the time being!
