I'm buying myself an IMac for Christmas. I miss the desktop experience
I never thought I would, but I miss it too.

Desktop is the only way. I demand a proper keyboard, proper display, proper mouse, proper speakers, etc.

Desk tops are the best but phones are great for typing out a post as well.
Phones suck for typing anything out. In fact, phones suck for forums in general. It's much easier to navigate things with a proper desktop, or even a laptop.

But I must say that looking up something in the net is much easier with a desktop.
The desktop is just easier PERIOD.

I've gotten better at typing with my phone over the years.

Yes, they are.

Well I have a stylis pen end that makes tapping out a post pretty comfortable plus it corrects my typos and or spelling mistakes as I plough through.
The desktop is easier for pictures.

I got a large screened smartphone with 14 gigs of RAM a few years ago, and I find I can do anything and everything easier with it.... including jacking it into a huge monitor and keyboard.
Everything in my pocket...

I've seen them before. Didn't know I had to re-acknowledge them.

That old NT shit just wasn't working well anymore.(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22https://i.ibb.co/HGsSSGh/Capture.png%22%3Ehttps://i.ibb.co/HGsSSGh/Capture.png%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)
I'm setting up a Windows 7 machine as we speak, no network access and purely for accessing my archived files from. With Microsoft, Apple and Google moving to more intrusive policies regarding the content of devices running their more recent operating systems, I'm thinking the minor headache of copying movies, music and various texts to a thumbdrive for consumption on these newer platforms is a small price to pay for not waking up some morning to find my digital library has been decimated overnight "because reasons".

I wanna get a 2019 Mac Pro.
Those can run Mac Windows and Linux nativelly.
Apple recently discontinued them & they used to sell for as much as $70,000.
But now they're like $15,000.So tthey're dropping in price
Hopefully by next year they'll drop in price like a rock.
Get one for $5,000

Nothing wrong with 7 at all. It's the O/S system I currently use. For everything. I will not utilize an O/S that was designed for phones.
Run Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, which has Windows XP built in (like in my image here) for true retro feelz!
