I ordered a new MacBook Pro from Best Buy . It arrived last week and yesterday I finally had a few minutes to take it out of the box and set it up . As I was setting it up I was trying to plug other equipment in it and noticed it did not have a USB port . So I loaded the laptop up and took it to Best Buy . When I got to customer service , I told the lady I needed to exchange this laptop for another one ,that it did n to have a USB port for all my equipment . She said very sweetly , honey Apple no longer makes computers with USB ports and PCs are phasing them out as well . Lol I felt like a complete moron . For 9.99 I was able to purchase a adopter that I could still use my equipment .
I just can not keep up with technology . I saw the new iPhone launches September 14 but will be taking orders on the 7th , incase anyone is needing a new one it will be out very soon
have a wonderful Monday ladies and gentlemen

Same, I bought a new burner and when I opened it up there wasn't a charger included in the package. So I went in Walmart and explained my problem with why no charger. Well after all of the back and forth it explained to me it didn't come with one but for 50 I could purchase an universal one. I told them thanks but the purpose of a burner is to remain anonymous don't need to have a big charger sticking out of the wall. So a cute techie chick who I explained my dilemma to. She hooked me up with something that fit my needs for 8. God Bless cute techie Chick

But the technology is keeping up with you! Soon gov will know exactly where you are at all times. Already that way in china. They connect your name, address, phone #s, emails, social media accounts, websites, what you watch, you bank account, your credit/debit cards, your pictures with facial recognition, and more.
Apple has really cheaped out on their products. I had a 2006 macbook pro with a 2012 operating system that could run circles around my newer macbook pro!
Leaving off USB ports is just another way of being cheap, yet charging you more! Apple also took away DVD drives because they said dvd's were dead. They never thought that many instructional dvd's from small companies are still sold. They thought everyone just watched hollyweird crap, and they want you to pay to stream it.
There was software I had on my old computer that I had purchased from 3rd party developers. I did what I wanted it to do. Now I can't use it because everything has to be 64 bit. 32 bit,, 16 bit, and even earlier worked fine. Apple has made it complicated so that you 3rd party software developers can't create programs for us to use.
Apple even took away Aperture, which was a good photo program. Photos is not anywhere near as good. Most of Apple's software is not near as good as was the old 3rd party stuff.
Remember going into a store and seeing shelf after shelf of sotware for sale; how much do you see now?
As for phones, they want to keep you in a constant purchase loop. Your phone is a tracking device!
