I will write up my opinions, set up, and first impressions.
If you're interested I will post on my blog sometime later in November.

Why Apple?
I know, I know. I really wanted to get away from Apple. No need to list all the negative reasons. We all know them. I do run a linux box, and several raspberry pi's. But for day to day computer use, music making, and compatibility with peripheral's, I just am getting too old to fight. I love the Idea of Linux. And it has gotten so much better over the years. I know the Apple system like the back of my hand. Comfort and ease, and muscle muscle memory, count a lot for this old guy.
No regret! Embrace your lazy self.
I'll stay on Windows as long as MS cranks out the OS.
Cause in old age, it's not that I can't learn new tricks, it's more a case of I have alot more fun things to do first, before I need to waste my time learning a new trick that isn't really necessary!
