@nixCraft Seems all too familiar. I don't really understand why it's so hard to convince people to stop paying Apple 2-3x as much for equivalent hardware that has half the options and control available just because it has a pretty exterior and slightly easier default settings (though even this is overestimated -- defaults on most things are pretty easy these days.) I get not everyone wants to customize, but just having basic options even in one or two things makes a world of difference...
@nixCraft I showed my mom Pirates of Silicon Valley and she got it. It helps that the previous weekend, we'd watched the Netflix documentary on the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. I guess we should be thankful Apple had computers and not guns.
