A True Testament to Usefulness

While Apple frequently makes a big deal about paying attention to the small details, they miss some of the bigger ones. Last night, or technically very early this morning, I friend of mine in California was setting up a new laptop and asked for help. I simply had him open the Quick Assist App. I began a session and he joined it with the code that was produced. I was then able to help him directly on his system get things set up the way he wanted and in a way that would help streamline his use of the technology. Apple has nothing like this without having to pay for special software AND be on the same network. The more time I spend delving into Windows, the more I find how useful it really is, and how walled off Apple is, even from its own users. I sold my iPad Pro and instead bought a Surface Go 2. The machine, keyboard, and Surface Pen all cost significantly less than what I'd paid for the iPad Pro and the Magic Keyboard cover and was covered by the sale of my 2 year old iPad Pro.
