Yes and yes.

Desktops sure. I tend to replace or upgrade them about once every 5-10 years. But I never got that kind of longevity out of a laptop. Maybe I'm just hard on the hardware. Shrug.

How long ago was that? I bought my first Mac around 2006 or so. I bought just to learn the OS it because I was running into them in the field and needed to know my way around them. Like you, I ran into a ton of 'you can't do that' moments back then. I always had other PC's around so it was...

My laptop software needs are pretty generic, MS Office, Photoshop/Premiere, Fusion 360 etc. My wife uses an iphone and ipad in addition to her Air but my Macbook is my only idevice. As I said earlier though, I used to go through laptops about every 2-3 years, so about 4 new units every 10...

For your use case there isn't a value proposition. My use case is different.

Not liking the OS is completely understandable. It definitely took me a while to warm up to the Mac OS. I think I've been using both for so long, that all OS's kind of look the same to me now. Its your laptop and your money. You should get what works for you. :)

If the question is what plane, the answer is always Bonanza. If the question is what laptop, the answer is always Mac. I know you don't want one and that's fine, but FWIW my experience has been the same as Steingar's. I used to need a new laptop every 2 or 3 years. I switched to Mac 15 years...

Time for "I'm having some trouble seeing what you want me to do here so how about you take it and demonstrate for me what I should be doing. Your airplane. And since I'm the one paying you in this deal, please stop yelling at me. I'm sitting right here. I can hear you fine."

I honestly thought this was one of Bryan's videos until I was about 1/3 of the way in.

Experimentals are flown in all airspace all the time. They are flown IFR all the time (if properly equipped). And they are flown internationally all the time. If needs to be flown in phase 1, you're limited in where you can fly. But phase 1 happens when the plane is first certified and if/when...

Call this guy. He'll come in and figure out the problem and then rebuild 3/4 of the house while he's there.

Why would it need to be a CFI? Wouldn't a private pilot in the other seat be enough to make the flight legal? Assuming of course they're current and have a valid medical and whatever endorsements (complex, HP etc) the particular airplane used may require.

The safety record is what it is.

I guess I should clarify that while warbird rides are the topic of discussion, my feeling on the matter is not limited to warbirds. I won't get in the back seat of any airplane that isn't operated under 121 or 135. Last time I did that was as an observer on a CAP training flight and it became a...

Nice write up. Great job. Congratulations.

Nope, it doesn't. I have zero interest in participating in any of these Warbird rides for just that reason. Being able to say I rode in the back of one once is just not worth the risk of finding out too late that I trusted someone I really shouldn't have trusted. I have zero interest in hot air...

Wait a minute. You're telling me there's a company out there that takes the completely awesome but otherwise hunk of sh*t that is a stock DeLorean and upgrades all the sh*tty parts to turn it into something resembling a car actually worth owning? I now need to reassess all my life goals to allow...

You seem to be assuming that everyone else feels the same as you about everything and knows exactly as much as you and nothing more. They don't feel the same you and some know much less and some know much more. Once you can understand and accept that, things like this become much easier to...

It should be noted that the actual Henry Ford did exactly what you're proposing. And when it came to pass that people were killed in a crash, the actual Henry Ford called the airplane production factory which bore his name and asked 'where are you in the production run?' The answer was 'we have...

Which can be a recipe for disaster in certain airplanes.
