The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I do worry about buggy issuances, be they hardware or software. In general, my three word review for Apple (having used their products since 1982, and also plenty of Wintel PCs, and Android tablets just to see if they are a valid choice which they are) is "it just works." Of course that is not always true but it seems to be more *usually* true than the alternatives.

When on vacation the other week, I spent about three hours trying to get the latest patch pushed to my iPhone, and my Mac wasn't helping, and neither was Apple's support chat via their app. The chat threw me out at least 4x and I had to keep explaining, anew, what I was having issues with for this. Knocked them down from maybe A to A- in my mind, but I'm still a stockholder and user for now. And as they're at another all time high today, might shave holdings down some - the stock funded my early retirement, so grateful for that.
