He wants to convince you that there are Mac programs which would do what you wanted, at least as you have described it. And it is almost certain he is right. But so what? You found a solution that works for you and you are happy with it. It is almost as if it is offensive to him you are using a choice other than one you would. Just weird to me. > Still less why winning matters so much to you. > > What I do remember is the increasing _disappointment_ with the G4. Then > Apple switched to Intel chips, so I did too.

They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
