why is there an Apple forum?
Is it so you can segregate the cultists away from non-religious people?
Re: why is there an Apple forum?
People seem to want to talk about Apple. But what we giveth we can taketh away-eth.

"People seem to want to talk about Apple."
Apparently not ...

Several months ago, there was a board meeting at The Register offices, with Mr Orlowski and the sub-editors in attendance. The meeting covered opening up the comments section into a full-blown forum. They discussed the pros and cons of such an action; increased page hits, potential liabilities and so on.
At the very end, one of the sub-editors said, "This "dogged" guy, what can we do to troll this bastard as hard as humanly possible?" and bingo, an Apple sub-forum was born.

Eighteen months later, especially in a dead thread, the irony is almost palpable.

Surely the best place for an apple is in a pi? (I have one at home right now dreaming of custard).

It's a Herding Device ..
.. get all of us Apple-bashers (not a euphemism) into one place where we’re easier to ignore.
You know it makes sense ..

I, for one, love bashing apples. Well, pressing them anyway. Homemade Gravenstein Cider and Cyser are lovely, both still and sparkling. The non-alcoholic apple juice is nice, too. The fruit itself is tasty, but it doesn't keep very well[1], that's why I preserve it with fermentation. I would never accidentally leave a 35 gallon batch of hard Cider in the walk-in meat freezer overnight ...
Oh ... You mean the multi-billion dollar multinational named after the Beatles record label? ::shrugs:: Personally, we have an aging iMac that the Wife sometimes uses for video editing. Works for her, once in a while. Other than that, no iFads here ... Not bashing them, we just don't see a need for useless eyecandy bolted onto a coms tool.

Apple

An Apple forum is needed
just in case there is ever a problem with one, we can go to the forum and get advice.
not a fangrl, just a satisfied user. when I migrated to pc from mac I always missed my mac features. after years on windows I went back to mac. I never missed those features.
Spot the obvious fail....
...because nothing ever goes wrong with Apple gear and it's all so perfect.
