This used to be Apple&#x27;s key offering. They sold systems which were suitable for the skilled and the naive alike. It was wonderful because it meant that the naive could smoothly transition to being skilled, and the skilled could have all the comforts and ease of something suitable for the naive.<p>Sadly, Apple seems to have given up on this and is now catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator. There&#x27;s plenty of power left in their stuff, but it&#x27;s all left over from better days, and is slowly slipping away.
