Cute.

Apple's detractors on this board remind me of the kid in the playground who sat around and whined "I told you so. The teacher said not to climb that tree." every time a kid skinned his knee climbing a tree. That kid never did or said anything interesting, but he always listened to the teacher. Meanwhile, other kids were climbing trees.

See, it's easy to come up with useless analogies.

ObApple:

The article about MacTel boxes makes me wonder a little less about why Gates said he was "confused" about Apple's business strategy. It seems clear to me. Apple aims to continue to be the most compatable system in the world. There already are plenty of reasons to use Apple technology. If they can pull off the current plan, there will be no excuses *not* to use Apple.
