Based on your statement, a less knowledgeable person might be misled to
believe that Apple does nothing but sit on their fat asses all day; but
those of us with even the tiniest skill of observation know that is
decidedly not the case, and Apple is heavily innovating, both internally
as well as externally, secret back rooms and released products, on a
fairly regular basis.

Ah. That must be why they sell so well. : )

Was it 7 years ago? Might explain why you think Apple isn't doing much
interesting. ; )

While you have harped about your supposed performance issues over the
years, I've happily gotten tons of work done without issue every single
day with my Mac Pro, running each version of Mac OS X that has come out
since I purchased it back in 2008, and it's still *plenty* speedy. The
same can be said for my MacBook Pro and other computers I've owned and
used in that time. Somehow, this problem you claim to have never
appears. It's almost as if...

One-note bore indeed...
