Yes, I'm still bitter.
But thankful he drove the stock price up...
It's a bitter pill.

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Why does Jobs seem angry?
A related question to all this discussion of Steve Jobs:
Why do Newton users hate Steve Jobs so much?
Is it solely because he cancelled the Newton?
Not that this is a terrible reason or anything. But this whole conversation
has seemed a bit strange to me, for example, when was the last time that
Jobs made any comment public or otherwise that we know about regarding the
Newton? The last one I know about was when he demonstrated Ink Well in 10.2
demos before its release, that was now something like two years ago, and
that was the first one I had heard of in a really long time.
So while I guess disliking Jobs for canceling a product we all love is valid
enough for anyone, all the other stuff being talked about seems ... well,
out of place and time, I mean, "Why does Jobs seem angry?"
and the discussion surrounding that statement makes it sound current, when
to the best of my knowledge it has been years since any of the evidence
cited was well ... current or relevant.
This isn't to declare the impressions shared here to be right or wrong, more
so to just say that the conversation seems ... well strange at best and
perhaps 3-4 years out of place at worst.
So with all that said - are we really so bitter that after numerous
discussions and justifications and arguments about the cancelation of the
Newton - was it seven years ago just within the last month? - are we really
so bitter that we are still trying to find reasons to bash the guy who did
it or is there anything more ... useful to this topic?
Thoughts?
David
