Sheep, huh. Then baaaaaaah!!! Come on Dave - they're no worse than any other out there. I worked for IBM (large systems division as an engineer), and in senior management for Avante Systems and Logical Solutions - the latter two large Apple dealers in their day. IBM was always a great company to work for, and later with. It had its principles and was tough on anything that threatened its existence. So was Apple. I've also worked for several other large-scale computing firms and there's no "nice" company, that's for sure. There's also always going to some ex employee that doesn't like their old company for some reason - stands to reason, otherwise they'd probably still be there. As an intelligent person that appreciates the Apple design and functionality philosophy of Apple, I stand with most others who don't think that Apple are out to get me. All companies come across problems that need to be solved, and not everyone is going to agree with how that's done. Tough. That's business. I still have plenty of friends at Apple Computer both here and in the States, and they've all loved working there for years - some since 1984.
