Sure but....
I've been in IT for many many years and have the gray hair to prove it. I love playing with new tech. and I believe that that's the nature of a "geek". All of my "Toys" have indeed payed for themselves by fostering my ability to support them with my clients. The difference between a repair man and a geek is that if a geek were independently wealthy a geek would still do it for free - for the love of the technology. As far as which is better (IOS or Android), why can't they both be great?
