Bwhahahahahaha!!!! That's a good one.. Ever concider cross-posting to
rec.humor.funny? The Apple II put them on the map, yet it had one of the most
badly hacked os-es I had ever seen. (If you could even call that a OS) The
Apple III was a badly assembled failure that was rushed out the door too
fast and the Lisa... Ugh. Proof that not just IBM and Microsoft don't get it
right at first...
IMHO, Apple became a *better* company once Scully took over and the *real*
macs came out...
Jobs was never more than a hardware version of Bill Gates. He saw an
opening and grabbed it.
