I work on my Macs most of the day and use them, off and on, all the time. I have since the first Macintosh was shown to me in 1984. I was instantly hooked. I also ride my horse almost every day.

Thoroughbred horses are products of vision with careful and demanding breading. Apple products and their success are also from vision with careful and demanding breading.
