The last great computer was an Amiga.
My wife likes Mac. She has a new one. When she tried to upgrade her old
one to OS 10 (I think) it ate the install disk and then turned off. Took
me a few hours online asking how to get the disk out. Got the disk out
after finding the right little hole to poke. No inquiry I made over a
month could solve the install problem. When you started it up it revved
up and then shut down. We threw it away.
Amiga was a dream. I play with my wife's Mac from time to time but have
never understood how it works.
