Me gots no significant motorcycle experience. But it's sounding vroom vroom wonderful.

As for computing environment, I've been happy with Chromebooks for years after discovering a "Terminal" app permitting command line joy. Couldn't tell you whether that typically comes with a Chromebook or has to be added. And of course you'd likely be installing things within that environment - e.g. tmux and Lua are absolute necessities for this here pseudo-writer.

It's just seemed the least expensive/troublesome path to my kind of environment.

Thanks, man. I'll check that out. Haven't tried tmux. PHP is my language of choice.

The problem with Chromebooks for me is that they are made by Google. I know, I'm one of those dudes who readily and steadily complain about tracking, data theft, filter bubbles etc. I've been Google-free for over five years now, and I won't touch the damn thing. Their slick G-Man logo puts me off, every fucking time. Think I've developed some kind of allergy towards everything Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft. Sorry.

So how come you use Apple's fancy shit?

Well, I've decided to trust them. Nothing more, nothing less. It might be my downfall, but, what the hell, you have to trust somebody, don't you?
