Early morning in California, and here I am, listening to the pouring rain, preparing an important memo for my organization on my glorious DP 2.0. Oh how much the Mac has enriched my life over the last fourteen years. From my LC, to my Quadra 650, to my 8600 and then to my iBook and G5, my Macs have always served me well. I don't know if many PC users develop such affection for computers, which are in actuality inanimate tools. I suspect they do not have such affinity. Perhaps it is because my Macs have served me with minimal fuss and maximal style; they have been a joy to use, while few PC users can honestly say the same about their machines. But this is not a PC bashing thread - no, it's a Mac glorification thread. Yes, I do have a ton of work on my plate (and will have to lose a distressing amount of sleep to complete it all), but I also have at my command a super computer running the greatest OS ever produced.
Thank you Andy Hertzfeld and Burrell Smith for leading the design of the insanely great Macintosh. Thank you Avie Tevanian, John Rubinstein and Phil Schiller et. al. for restoring Apple. Most of all, thank you, Steve Jobs, for you not only founded Apple but saved it twice, by saving the Mac project and by orchestrating your return in order to rescue Apple in the darkest days. Thank you, Apple! Now, I will have to get back to work. . .
