Rumours....schmourors (try pronouncing that!)
I have lost all faith in Apple's ability to "wow"
me...I was a Mac network administrator for 10 years
and when Jobs came in and devastated the Mac Clone
industry (we had over 100 clones deployed in almost
every department) and then he killed off the Newt!
Well, what can I say, fool me once, shame on
you...fool me twice, shame on me! Well, now I work for
a B-I-G internet company, and the closest thing to a
Mac product anywhere in the company is spelled MAC
(notice the capitalization...hint, it has nothing to
do with Apple)
And yes, I agree. Jobs increased the stock price...and
I made a killing (purchased at $50, sold at
$130...paid for my wife's and my vacation this year
with a some left over)
I just don't believe any of the purposeful
mis-information that comes from Apple...and honestly?
I don't believe that Jobs has any tricks up his sleeve
left to wow me with...but, I'm an open minded
man...and I sit here with a devout agnostic
stance...so I say to Jobs and Apple, "show me, wow me,
let's see if you still 'got-it'"
