That is also a commentary on MS, Bill Gates. He is in business for the buck, first, last and the only reason he went into the business. Quality doesn't even come into the picture.
Steve, I was there. The only reason Apple even exists today is that they used to give them away to schools in hopes that on graduation, the kids would continue to use them. The better clones "garage machines" were as reliable as any Mac ever built. Spin it how you like. I'll help, 94.9 percent of the market is not smart enough to figure out what you all did. I'm done.
