Pre Omnis Studio 8.x on OSX soon to be obsolete.

At this point the old me starts to lose it, feeling it’s going too far for the Mac to be ended as we know it’s OS…so far as that goes I prefer MacOSX over iOS myself. However, I watch a woman who uses an iPhone like most pros use their computers…she gets more real stuff done on that phone than I can believe. Similarly but moreso the folks at Apple know whats going on. I must admit I love their products since the Mac. The current ones are better than the old ones. I loved them all. To me Windows is no competitor, I have always been Mac. Since I can’t take it, I’m surrendering. One thing I have not seen on iOS is programming of desktop apps..ha ha ha…or any programming… but everything else oh except photoshop, you just cannot do with a finger what is done with a mouse. It is for that reason, I hope the future contains the mouse, and I expect it will, or some replacement for whole hand guidance of a fine point on the screen, after all, tons of their revenue comes from artists still..if they decide to be ONLY a company that caters to the masses with mass aimed gadgets, that will be sad for they have been the creator of the best computer/operating system on the planet for quite some time and I aint dead yet. To me you can’t do garage band with a finger… impossible… too many curves to draw with exactness, same with photoshop, and hell if we end up with those apps on iOS and with the mouse still… then basically who cares….they HAVE to allow for programming… that’s kind of a no brainer, they have to. Unless they decide to belly up on computers and just be mass oriented consumer products and they fade amongst the Samsungs. It all scares me frankly. The part of me that wants them to stop for a year or two for once never gets satisfied after all. The real me has always found a way with Mac. I realize Windows is shit hell powerful and configurable and way diff than the Mac, I get it, I just can’t stand the shaky mouse.. it’s less exact, that’s it, it’s always been that way, the windows mouse is just not as steady as the Macs, period, this is the reason its the artists choice. At the core, that’s the reason. Id hate to see it go but I accept the will of the gods of Cupertino where at 1 Infinity Loop, lay the home of what I’ve touched more than anything else for 30 years. End of sermon.
