Apple
So, it’s been a while. I probably should be doing something productive, but rather than cry about it or castigate the effort as paltry and insufficient, I thought, why not? Everybody else is writing their tedious lives. Why can’t I? Enough with the cynicism, I just read this article exhibiting Apple’s complete product line. It made me a little sad. Turns out I used Apple right from the start and then somehow it fell apart for us after 1990. Even though I went to a university that long been affiliated with Mac, after freshmen year, I just stopped using them. The memory of my FORTRAN classes programming on a Macintosh Classic still makes me shiver. Work pulled me into the Borg consciousness of Unix and all small biz lives on Microsquish. It’s only the iPod that drew me back and that was only recently. I have very strong reservations about the iPhone and its innovations. I’m not easily enamored by form if it is mostly functionless.
