Thanks, Leo, but no thanks.



Proprietary crap is anti-democratic.



Fact is, my laptop is 7 years old and I've carted it everywhere with me... India, the Caribbean, Europe; it's taken quite a beating. HDD failure is no surprise, really.

Proprietary?



Software developers have made a fortune developing apps for MacOS and iOS!!



These are small developers who would NEVER get a look in under the Microsoft dictatorship.



And their ability to develop software is enhanced by the reliability and consistency of the operating system.

My wife has an ipad and an iphone 6. But, I prefer Android and I like Microsoft, but not 10.

You have done pretty well for yourself sponging off of others.

You used to post some amazing bird pictures right from your yard.

A flock of cockatoos. They only flock in the wild and the noise is unbearable.

A beautiful shot.



What do you mean the only flock in the wild? Are they mostly in captivity now?
