IT guy making fun of my Mac because “Macs are for people that don’t want to make choices.” Same guy wears all black every day because he’s a “minimalist”. Cognitive resource limitation, my friend. We all make our choices about we’re gonna make our choices about.

Also... that's not something that actual tech or tech-adjacent people say about Macs. That's something they say about iPads. He mixed up his talking points.

I don't doubt it. I'm just saying that in my whole career in tech, I don't think I've ever heard someone say that about the Mac (as opposed to an iPad / iPhone), which is an extremely user-empowering and extensible and modifiable tool. [1/2]

But I take your point that, even if he were correct that the Mac is limiting once you commit to using it, it wouldn't follow that using one is a bad choice! (Also I owe you an email; it's been a busy month.) [2/2]
