Hi Randy,
To provide a counterpoint to your opinion, I would like to point out
two things.
1) Some of the most popular television shows in the industry's history
started out as complete flops; a first year spent in the basement. Take
"Cheers" for example. The ratings stunk in the first year, now it's
viewed as a cultural icon and a classic.
2) There is an old Chinese proverb that goes something like - 'At the
beginning of brilliance, one must first look foolish to the crowd.'
With your not too secret distain for Mr. Jobs and company, which is an
opinion that you are entirely entitled to, I ask you to publicly tell
us what motivates you to stay with Apple.
Signed,
Curious Frank Petrie
VP, SJAUG
