@schw06  best response so far. You're exactly right.  

@schw06 you articulated it best. I “feel” the same with my Mac gear in the few days I’ve had it. It calms my soul :)

@schw06

excellent post, many good points made

good reminder there are many experienced thoughtful members who usually stay silent, turned off by the pointless, garbage posts that seem to dominate the activity here these days...

in this case, very glad @schw06 chose to contribute his thoughts

Wise post and some few words saying the essentials...

Thanks ...
