Can Mac Adobe Illustrator read in a Microsoft PowerPoint with fonts?

If you've not yet physically tried one, I suggest that you do so. :-) I have used *all* the Apple equipment, as I do volunteer work in a school environment. I also buy a phone every few months, as it's my gift-giving process, where I tie the phone to the person, which means often it's Android but sometimes the person wants Apple equipment. I also have many iPads, and just bought a new one this last month, so, I'm fully familiar with empirical facts about Apple equipment. In particular, I find that if I ask a TECHNICAL question of the Apple newsgropus, facts aren't their forte. Why? I don't know why. I just know that it doesn't matter who asks the question, nor what the question is, if it involves technical facts, it won't be answered correctly on the Apple newsgroups (as this thread amply proved). Someone could as a question about cables, and it won't be correctly answered on the Apple newsgroups (see recent experiments proving this). They could ask about Mac or iOS funcdtionality, and almost always, if not always, the answer will not only be wrong, but it will contain fantastic fabrications of imaginary functionalty that never existed. It could even be about batteries, where the fantastic excuses blaming battery technology will be amazing to read, where on the adult newsgroups, people actually understand battery technology. It could even be about bugs, where the first thing that the Apple Apologists do is blame Google for Apple's bugs, even when it's well known that the head of software engineering blames Apple Marketing schedules for the plethora of horrid bugs in Apple devices of late. Given these are all facts that are in the public record: http://tinyurl.com/misc-phone-mobile-iphone http://tinyurl.com/comp-mobile-ipad http://tinyurl.com/rec-photo-digital http://tinyurl.com/comp-sys-mac-system http://tinyurl.com/comp-sys-mac-apps http://tinyurl.com/comp-mobile-android http://tinyurl.com/alt-comp-os-windows-10 etc. The empirical result is that Apple Usenet posters are *different* than normal adults. In general, many real-world questions & experiments clearly show: a. Apple Usenet posters are shockingly devoid of technical skills, b. And they incessantly fabricate completely imaginary Apple functionality, c. And yet, they're adept at endless off-topic silly semantic games. Whfg yvxr lbh'er cynlvat jvgu zr. |

Ragnusen, Hi! :-) V nccerpvngr lbhe erfcbafrf - V'z abg 'cynlvat' jvgu lbh. I confess I'm surprised that a school is using a 27 inch iMac with a Retina 5K display. Are you sure about that? Have you visited the ASC as I suggested? If so, what posting name do you use there? I post there as 'HunterBD' (I used to fly a Hawker Hunter during my advanced flying training in the Royal Navy!) Perhaps you'd like to comment on the reply to the post I made there this morning? It is very comprehensive but I'd welcome YOUR views. https://discussions.apple.com/messag...23456#33257585 The answer to malware on Apple equipment was made by John Galt, he- https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8841 Sincerely, David B. |

I just use their products and generally get by fine, almost always sorting out problems (usually without the almost useless misunderstandings that occur on usenet). Again, there are three empirical categories of Apple Apologist... 1. *Unfathomably dumb:* BK@OnRamp, Snit, Jolly Roger, Joe, Alan Baker, Lewis, Hemidactylus, etc. 2. *Duplicitous liars:* nospam 3. *The mind of a child - but usually knows when to shut up* Savageduck, Alan Browne, Tim Streater, etc. I agree with you that you don't play *exactly* the same silly semantic games that the others play, but I don't think you're in a category of your own either. So, for now, you're in the third empirical category, which is much more loosely organized since you, like they, *never* add on-topic technical value but you, unlike they, generally tell the truth when you are disagreeing with the likes of the unfathomably dumb and the duplicitous liars. It appears there are only two situations when you act like an adult: A. When you're informing the children above they act like children, and, B. Interestingly, when you are toying with me (since you know my buttons). Given that you have the capability of acting like an adult acts, if you only added on iota of on-topic technical value, then you'd be different from the rest of them (IMHO). Think about this one question before disagreeing (which you're welcome to): Q: How much on-topic technical value have you added to this thread? A: ? I post the above based purely on empirical facts. |

It's an opinion that's based on evidence. And is coincidentally shared by a lot of people. Not you, obvs ;-) Opinions aren't facts, no matter how many slack-jawed yokels believe them. Apple pays *every* dollar they are supposed to, and many companies pay far far less. Apple is the largest tax payer in the US (and I believe in the world). apple pays roughly *twice* as much as berkshire hathaway, who is in the #2 spot, and roughy three times as much as google/alphabet: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/...IKkI/v1/1200x- 1.png Exxon, for example, doesn't pay any tax at all. nor does amazon: http://seattlebusinessmag.com/busine...didnt-pay-any- federal-income-taxes-2017 According to a new report from the Washington, D.C.-based Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), Amazon says that the e-commerce giant ³reported $5.6 billion of U.S. profits and didn¹t pay a dime of federal income taxes on it.² .... Amazon notoriously hunts out advantages within the tax system, and ITEP says this zero percent rate in 2017 ³reflects a longer term trend.² ³During the previous five years, Amazon reported U.S. profits of $8.2 billion and paid an effective federal income tax rate of just 11.4 percent. This means the company was able to shelter more than two-thirds of its profits from tax during that five year period.² |

Not you, obvs ;-) it absolutely is a lie. the evidence is very clear that apple pays what they owe. Bull****. Apple pays *all* the appropriate sales taxes in every country. They also pay *all* the appropriate income tax in the countries where they actually have a regional office AND where they make an actual *profitable* *income*. What most fools do not understand is that Apple doesn't actually make a profitable income in most countries, because in those countries it's simply a *distributor* division which gets the products (and on-sells them to customers for the same price) from the sales / supplier division in Apple Asia or Apple Ireland ... it's in the countries where those *sales* divison companies that Apple pays income tax. In the smaller countries like New Zealand there isn't even an Apple division at all, so they couldn't make a profit here even if they wanted to - all sales are handled by Apple Australia (which gets it's products from Apple Asia). It's all 100% legal, and standard accounting and tax procedure - *EVERY* business pays income tax on the *profit*, that's after expenses for running the business, including purchasing of stock from suppliers, paper for the printers, toilet paper, etc., etc. |
