That phrase has double meaning. It is both a statement of how long I’ve enjoyed all of you and the interactions on this board, and a goodbye salutation. I very much appreciate each and every one of you. I assume that I’ll see some of you on whatever financial boards might remain. But, those environments will not be the same as here. I thank you all for your comments and knowledge, and especially for you willingness to help me and others with our computer and IT issues. I salute you! I assume the paid service boards will remain. Perhaps that’s an option to be explored? I wish you all the very best as time rolls forward. Whatever happens, we’ll see. 🙋??? ralph, I consider each of you a friend. ---

Hi ralph, No need to say good-bye…this board is remaining open. Jen ---

Jen, Why this board remains exempt and not the Apple- AFAIK. They’re both computers and necessary that the work properly for investment/financial access. Really what is the logic, please ---

At a guess, I’d think this board is about all computers and that board is about Apple computers. They should be welcome here for computer issues but I don’t know if the rest of us would be welcome there for issues with non-Apple computers. ---

Rosewine- Afaik a computer is a computer - is a computer whatever the brand name- it could be an Acer, a Mac, a “whatever” right? Lol ---

_At a guess, I’d think this board is about all computers and that board is about Apple computers. They should be welcome here for computer issues but I don’t know if the rest of us would be welcome there for issues with non-Apple computers._ I have never felt very welcome on this board. I get the feeling if I do not run Windows that I do not belong. So I think of it as a Windows board. There is a Linux board, but it seems it will be disabled soon. There are very few posts on it, from which I infer that there are very few Linux users, or that they have very few problems. I do not know which. ---

I did not go to “Apple iOS Help” for the computer. I have Windows desktops so I came here. I went there for the help on iPads and iPhones. If that board does indeed close, I will miss it. Ken ---

_There are very few posts on it, from which I infer that there are very few Linux users, or that they have very few problems. I do not know which._ I would suspect most \*nix users are well-versed in searching the web and reading man pages, and thus can figure things out for themselves. ---

JeanDavid _I have never felt very welcome on this board. I get the feeling if I do not run Windows that I do not belong. So I think of it as a Windows board._ I have ALWAYS welcomed your input, comments, and inspirations. I knew that Apple users felt “different”… but, I didn’t realize that Linux users also felt “different” and ostracized. I’ve a good snail world friend who Nix’s. It doesn’t seem to cause us any grief. I suspect my next car will have the ticker TSLA. Therefore I may feel ostracized? 🌞 ralph
