Mac fanboys are keeping them in business.

I have a friend who developed his liking for Apple in the 80s, when they were in fact agile and innovative (recall the brilliant 1984 commercial).  But IMO those days are long past.  2019 Apple = 1985 IBM.   

Their products are still good, they do have some nice stuff but IMO there is an "Apple Prem noium" built into the price that is no longer viable IMO.

Mac has so GREAT hardware. It's robust and rarely breaks. The price tag doesn't match it however. While their equipment last a long, long time, you can buy 3 PC's for the same cost that will outlast 1 Mac, but you can update those 3 PC's along the way.

Tech changes monthly, so don't lock yourself into a Mac.

Here's a fun exercise: when that new Mac Pro goes live, go to their website and do a max build on one. Those suckers have gone over $20k in the past. I'll this one's close to 30.

dumb IMO. You can build an multi M.2 machine that would scream for $4k. Apple must have lost their collective minds, but then again, someone will pay their ridiculous prices
503  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: What great TV shows really nailed their finales? on: May 20, 2019, 04:31:46 EDT
The Supranos was the absolute best ending that I've ever hated to watch, I STILL want to know
504  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Vols considered 16th best place to coach, 7th in SEC on: May 08, 2019, 04:31:38 EDT
Georgia at #1 is laughable. The rest of the list is fairly accurate, except I'd put Tennessee ahead of Auburn...even now.

My top half of the SEC would probably look like this: 1.) Alabama, 2.) LSU, 3.) Texas A&M, 4.) Florida, 5.) Tennessee, 6.) Georgia, 7.) Auburn

1. alabama - due to success
2. lsu - recruiting and not much penetration in their fertile grounds by other schools
3. uf - recruiting
4. uga - recruiting
5. atm - recruiting
6. either auburn or ut, not much of swing between the two
505  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I say. on: April 24, 2019, 03:07:41 EDT
So he is accused of paying the players to use his services at a later date. What can they do to the schools if they can't prove they were complicit in this? I bet the schools don't get any thing severe. A majority of the schools implicated are the NCAA's cash cows. I find it hard to believe there were only six schools involved, however.

The seems to be a sting in your tone, must be that Bama has been implicated
506  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I see a fairly easy path to the elite 8 on: March 18, 2019, 10:48:17 EDT
However, we have to hang on to the ball. That AU game was decided with turnovers

There were so many turnovers, I thought Gerald Riggs took up round ball
507  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I'm not watching, but... on: March 06, 2019, 02:37:42 EST
Said it clear as day as they were going to commercial break.  I think all of Vol nation did a double take.   

It caught me off guard too, lol. After hearing it and bringing the Schiano debacle back into memory, I wanted to throw my remote through my TV  I'm glad those days are over
508  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: It was pretty scary around here yesterday on: March 04, 2019, 04:56:50 EST
They're saying that the tornado that killed 23 (and counting) in Alabama crossed over into Georgia and passed about 1/2 mile NW of me. It looks like it was on the ground for up to 90 miles, creating a 3/4 mile wide path of destruction from Opelika, AL to Thomaston GA. Yikes.

The folks across the river in Lee County got it the worst. That area will take years to fully recover.

We lived in an apartment complex off of exit 12 back in 2007, and just after we moved in, a tornado passed just south of us. That place must be a tornado magnet.

Glad to see that you're safe
509  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Don't do it, Wake on: March 03, 2019, 11:37:24 EST
It's Wake Forest... Does it really matter who their AD is anyway?   

I thought the same thing 
510  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So does this team finally have its mojo back? on: March 03, 2019, 11:21:34 EST
And even then the LSU game would've been much different with a healthy Bone.  Believe they said he was fighting the flu.

Bone was sick
511  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: So does this team finally have its mojo back? on: March 03, 2019, 08:40:11 EST
Yesterday was their first legit 40 minute effort (especially defensively) since...when? The UGA game?

So was a corner turned yesterday, or was it an aberration? Because they won't lose again to anybody if they continue to play like that. And I mean anybody.

I have heard that while the 1st KY game hurt their pride, the LSU game was a wake up call and some soul searching happened afterwards. It showed last night, and man was it nice to watch.

I believe that the funk is over
512  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: VFL Fair "relieved of duties" on: February 09, 2019, 01:02:45 EST
Huge, and very impressive change to his staff
513  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Here is the usual Friday reminder...... on: February 08, 2019, 06:52:40 EST
I've joined your ranks, and I must say that I like it
514  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Our guys started it. Other teams aped it. Now it's even spread to the NBA. on: January 29, 2019, 11:41:36 EST
pretty sweet, and on a personal note, I had my hands on the design of the Heat stadium back in the late 90's. I designed the rebar 
515  Sports / VTTW Message Board / It wasn't even close, NEXT! on: January 24, 2019, 03:42:26 EST
 
516  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I've always thought that it doesn't really matter who's on Saban's staff... on: January 19, 2019, 12:10:38 EST
Perfect picture Vinny 

Can you imagine if Phillip Fulmer is somehow linked to the demise of Bama? The bama faithful would shat themselves 
517  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: People are getting particularly sensitive.......... on: January 16, 2019, 08:06:25 EST

those were some heart warming stories, do you have more? 
518  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Congrats on: January 15, 2019, 02:09:13 EST
Thanks Tony, we're enjoying it while it lasts.   

Thanks Tony, and I'm glad you stopped by
519  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Pruitt has hired Tee... on: January 15, 2019, 02:07:59 EST
Most excited I've been about a staff since Kiffin.  

Tee is going to absolutely lay waste on the recruiting trail.

I'm more excited, this has a great feeling and I haven't felt this vibe in a long, long time

Great point about recruiting as well, hopefully we can go toe-to-toe with Clemson within Tennessee
520  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: 26 of UF's 40 FG attempts... on: January 13, 2019, 03:49:26 EST
Don't use an obnoxious physical gesture to support your team if you don't want it shoved back in your face when you lose. Same goes for FSU, Texas, etc.

521  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: 26 of UF's 40 FG attempts... on: January 13, 2019, 03:10:06 EST
I think Grant Williams chomping at their student section is going to live forever in Vol memedom.

lol, agreed, but apparently it makes him a thug. fizzle UF
522  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Hope this is true....best case IMO. on: January 11, 2019, 02:19:14 EST

Really?

  • He likes East TN
  • Closer to his daughter
  • 1.5 mil
  • 1.6 mil
  • 1.7 mil
  • Recently had qb coach role taken away so Kirby could keep Coley
  • Tennessee is awesome

Look, TN is fortunate no doubt.  But every TN fan I know is just happy.
Key phrase: 'TN fan'
523  Sports / VTTW Message Board / a great article about the mens BB team...... on: January 10, 2019, 04:28:17 EST
well, more about a GA that's new to the team, Dylan Brewster. He's a great young man that happens to be a close relative of mine. His grandpa passed not too long ago, but one of his lifelong dreams was realized when Dylan joined the Vols BB team

524  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: GoVols247 Reporting it’s Chaney on: January 10, 2019, 12:00:58 EST
Oh come on, a grain of salt is all I'm saying. I could be a decent OC with UGa's talent. It's gonna take awhile for the Vols to get there talent wise. I just don't see them getting talent to compete anytime soon. All of UGa's and Bama's skill players are freshmen and soph's and they just add to it every year. Do you honestly ever see the Vols getting comparable classes to these guys? I hope so but it ain't going to be soon. How do we solve the talent disparity when they get the top 2 classes every year.

Welcome back Bama Perry, I knew that you'd return
525  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: GoVols247 Reporting it’s Chaney on: January 09, 2019, 03:08:12 EST
Well, I got the feeling folks thought I was here to start trouble, just based on some of the responses I got. I am not. Certainly not. That isn't me...at least not for a long time, and I have no plans to be a rude guest, ever again.

lol, no worries, you've been on VTTW for a hot minute. You're well known
