Apple's Fruitful Future

Apple's 30th Anniversary is prompting retrospective looks at the company's last three decades. C|Net grounds their look back in the here and now, commenting on lawsuits and competition. ZDNet complains that Apple still isn't in the workplace. The BBC looks at the company's world-changing aspects in a more upbeat story. Nick Irelan wrote in to mention a Forbes piece entitled Apple's Biggest Duds, so you can image what what side that article comes down on. CNN puts the whole thing in perspective, with a balanced look at the company's good and bad points. Finally, if you want some rumourmongering, 192939495969798999 writes "Industry sources have leaked that tomorrow, on the 30th Anniversary of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs will announce that the new intel-based Mac laptops will support dual-booting Windows XP and OS X 10.4."

When I get older, losing disk space, many years from now,
Will you still use me to send an email line, birthday greetings,
or slashdot whine?
If you used me 'till quarter to three, could I crash once more?
Will you still boot me, will you still root me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Hmm------mmm---mmmh.
You'll be older, too.Aaah, and if you say the word, I could stay
with you.

You'll need to be handy, mending a fuse, when my ps is gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside, you can't use me if my chips are fried.
Going to swap meets, digging for parts, who could ask for more?
Will you still boot me, will you still root me, when I'm sixty
four?

Every summer we can vist one infinite loop, if it's
not too dear. We shall scrimp and save.
And sitting on your knee, that newton from e-bay

Open a shell prompt, drop me a line stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say, yours sincerely wasting
away.
Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more.
Will you still boot me, will you still root me, when I'm sixty
four?

*Yeah.... I know it's lame....*
