I'd thank him for the memories. I've owned or used nearly every Apple computer ever made, even the shitty ones in the Dark ages. I hope Apple can continue to be the sort of company it is right now.
Well they say elections are not won by the opposition party but lost by the incumbent. Since Howard has lost the next election there seems little point wasting time examining his plans for our Internet, which like his other notions of late, show increasing signs of senility.

So I just joined Slashdot and the first article I read is this one, and then about 50 random posts.
The gist of it seems to be that everybody has an opinion much like another thing that all people possess and that there is some question as to whether Mike Elgan is smarter then Steve Jobs. Personally I think he just wanted to write a headline that would that would have the same affect as stamping on a nest of angry little ants. His writing reflects a clear bias as one would expect when writing for a PC dominated magazine. Surprise surprise.
Now since predictions and haruspication seem to be all the rage I wave my hands around in a theatrical manner and exclaim the following augury.
1. iPhone will be a bigger hit then predicted, even by Apple themselves.
2. Safari will blithely ignore all portents of doom and claim 10% of PC marketshare in the next 24 months and 5 days.
3. Steve Jobs will show up outside Mike's house one night and bludgeon him to death* with a MacPlus full of bricks.
4. ComputerWorld magazine will replace poor Mike with another writer that has a surprising PC bias.
So I see why you all do this now. It's mildly amusing and a great way to procrastinate for 5 mins.
Be nice. I'm new.
