Peck, you're a smart guy and understand and mostly agree with everything you've said. I even understand some peoples need for a physical keyboard. I've become insanely good at using the iPhone keypad and the combination of iOS v10 and it's preemptive word suggestion and fast typing speed, I can crank out text as fast on my iPhone than I can on my MacBook. MANY of us just are used to whatever we're used to, be it Windows, OSX, iOS, Blackberry, or whatever. It has been MY experience that Apple people are the most enthusiastic of the bunch and I like that, but to each their own tools.
I desperately need to grab an iPad Pro, the smaller one and the Apple Pencil/iPad combo really is epic. Brilliant hardware for sure!
I'm pretty sure... hopefully sure, that Peck knows I'm just playin'. No ill will was ever intended.
