Why Did Apple Have to Fuck Up Their Laptops?

 


I've been a loyal Mac users for years - hell, decades. I'm on my third (or maybe fourth?) laptop of theirs, and we have an old, workhorse desktop that my late father bought years ago. They were always the easiest to use, I happily spent extra money for the reliability, and proselytized to anyone who would listen.

When my previous MacBook died several months ago, I bought a new MacBook Air without a second thought. I seriously regret that decision.

The new set up makes it a ridiculous struggle to save a document ON my computer, rather than in their damn cloud - where I can NEVER find it. Every time I need to attach a document to an email - which is multiple times a day - it's a fucking struggle. 

 I have no objection to Apple offering cloud storage. What I HATE is how they try to force that choice on me.

Apple took a great and simple product and fucked it up.

I'll think long and hard before I buy another one of their laptops.
