You're a better man than I Gary. LOL...
Reading the Steve Jobs biography has further-strengthened my resolve. I've taken the same journey and been involved with Apple since 1978 when we bought our first Apple II. I share their design philosophy, and know that every employee of theirs stationed in Cupertino does too. It's a passion that stems from having a fervent artistic design streak rallied with a desire to push high tech to its commercial limit. It's more than simply banging boxes together to do the numbers. Some people understand this - most don't. I'm afraid that it gets my goat up when I see silly, purposely-chosen headlines like "I Hate Apple", when I know, understand and absolutely admire the philosophy and process that goes in to the products to make them what they are. It reflects on these passions and strikes a very ugly chord in me.
