The allure of money!

‘We Build Products That We Want for Ourselves, Too, and We Just Don’t Want Ads’ - Steve Jobs in 2011.

Now, Apple has begun integrating ads in Maps along with subscription upsells within Pages, Numbers, & Keynote.

@Trulyoffice Does Truly Office support Apple Silicon?

I can't find a single mention of Apple Silicon on your website.

Jay Leno explores the world’s largest steam engine—the iconic Union Pacific "Big Boy." This 600-ton behemoth, built in 1941, is the most powerful steam locomotive ever created.

Commodore has some new competition…

@commodoreofcl Commodore needs to purchase these
guys. You both have a similar mission!

This would give your new computers a nice, private, compatible office suite. Include the software with every new Commodore computer!

Parents will love this!

@commodoreofcl Commodore should use an AI programming tool to convert C64 games to modern processors and screen resolutions.

These "new" games should be included with Commodore's first first new computer.

@commodoreofcl Commodore should release something superior to a Raspberry Pi 500.

Design similar to an old Intel Nuc instead of computer in keyboard. More ram, SSD options. Create linux with installer & uninstaller. Bundle calendar, notes, reminders, email, PDF, messages, photos, Truly Office.

@commodoreofcl I've owned three Commodore computers (C128, A500, PC). If Commodore now only stands for retro count me out.

What people desperately want is an easy to use, privacy preserving alternative to Apple & Microsoft. I'm sorry but a dinosaur is not a realistic alternative.

Following a low-inflammation diet lowered risk of dementia by 29 percent . And the researchers found nearly the same for people with biomarkers related to more general neurodegeneration.

@commodoreofcl Why copy Apple's iWork applications?

Clients find Apple's iWork suite of applications far easier to learn if they are not already familiar with Microsoft office.

Microsoft Office is an old product. Don't be trapped in the past - Newer ways might be better!

[John Minick @azpc_help]

@commodoreofcl Commodore needs to copy Apple in one way. Apple provides free software that allows users to be productive immediately.

E-Mail
Messaging
Preview (PDFs & Images)
Image Capture (Scanners)
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Freeform
Photos
Garageband (Audio editing & podcasts)

@commodoreofcl

Commodore needs to develop your own version of Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Freeform).

For Commodore to advance in the home computer market it needs to offer a turnkey solution. That will help to entice buyers.

Buyers attract developers.

[John Minick @azpc_help]

@benlovejoy Microsoft & Apple have forgotten the balance that exists between customers and investors.

Putting iWork and Freeform & possibly photos into a freemium package is what happens when a firm is focusing more on investors than customers!

Forget the customer at your own peril!

[John Minick @azpc_help]

@benlovejoy Apple just damaged one of the best arguments for purchasing a Mac or an iPad.

Apple provided customers with a turnkey solution (iWork, Freeform, Photos, Image Capture, Email & Preview) that didn’t have ads & junkware.

Customers loved the purity & Apple thrived!

[John Minick @azpc_help]

@benlovejoy A lot of people including myself switched to iWork because of Microsoft's incessant ads for a subscription.

People are tired of seeing ads for subscriptions in essential apps.

Apple until last week was a breath of fresh air. Customers loved the purity & Apple thrived.

[John Minick @azpc_help]

@benlovejoy The premium features are essentially a billboard!

Try clicking on a template outside of the Premium template section and you discover that Apple mixed the "premium" templates in with the free templates. Another chance to place another advertisement in front of your eyes.
