[amsat-bb] Satellite Users on Macs

[Michael Walker]

I will be honest.

I own both windows and Mac computers and I use them both extensively. I can honestly say both have their problems. My Mac drives me absolutely crazy with display issues and today was no exception on when I lost a zoom call somewhere in their graphics card and I could not bring the focus back to it but the call went on. I had to reboot the Mac eventually. 

So no matter which platform you choose expect some technical issues that you will have to work to resolve.

I have to say right now That my windows 10 pro platform is by far the most stable.
