    The MacBook Pro and Mac Pro are computers. You know, those dusty neglected things in the back of the cupboard that you haven't updated for 2 years but still charge $2,000+ for. 
    The Apple// is a computer, too.

    So is a Cray XC.

    So is an iPad.

    Units sold is nice for Samsung.


    Profits on total units sold, maybe not so much.

    Just get a DSLR that supports MiFi memory cards.  I picked up a Pentax K50 with an 18-55mm lens, along with a 32GB MiFi card, all for less than $500.  The memory card creates a Wifi hotspot, I connect to it from the iPhone and can download right in the field.  Even raw image formats can be downloaded, though I haven't bothered with that as I'm not doing any heavy image editing after the fact.  I'll shop for wide angle and zoom lenses before a trip to the Philippines later this year.  
    The DSLR is fine, I have been using SLR's and DSLR's for work (and other) for more than 45 years. Parts of that time I've been accused of carrying one everywhere I went, including the shower (a base canard).

    But what about times when you're not planning on hauling your gear along, or maybe scouting out a new area for good sites, or just notice some targets of opportunity?

    There are times for the Super Duty truck, there are times for the bicycle, or even just a pair of shoes and a handy pocket. Lots of tools for lots of different opportunities.

    Having efficient IOS, for most people's iphone usage, 16GB is fine but 32GB better.
    It's really not. You lose 4GB off the top to formatting and the OS's needs. Factor in 4k video and high resolution photos, increasing app sizes...it gets tight quickly.
    And such usage is outside "most people's" usage patterns.

    Not outside yours, perhaps, but you're not "most people".

    I mean, I think Nancy's 'intelligence' speaks for itself. Must be all the Botox.

    Yeah, she must be really stupid.
    You misspelled "evil".

    She does seem to have a problem with parts of the Bill of Rights, for starters. And not just recently, either.

    Glad I'm no longer in her district. Finally.
