thanks and yeah, I've avoided Apple like the plague... engineers at Apple designed one of my products into an IMac and just before release, Jobs said something to them in a meeting like "Get that piece of s**t out of my product." Not theirs... HIS! He was right to keep his products simple as wireless was a huge selling point for others 20 years ago... very complicated for most to use.... but the way he treated people sucked. I remember our marketing team came back really dejected over all the time they wasted on this only to have the rug pulled at the last minute. The secret to Apple's success was getting their early PCs into schools so people thought they were easy to use. It was a myth of sorts except for they have far less functionality than similarly priced products so they APPEAR to be better... since easier to use.
