Wow, and well-played Pup... well-played. I'd give a golf clap to that, but that'd be far too sarcastic for me these days. Guess it depends on which puck model we're talking about, and whether they're the kind to shy away from eating pie or seeing Pi for its potential. I've seen many of those films, but check out Aronofsky's version for further enlightenment. Later Apple pucks got very slowly better, but Steve was always going to be Steve and try to enforce his will on us all. Guarantee he left a dent in our universe though, it was his only stated goal in life, repeatedly. As difficult a human as he could be to work with, we do have to forgive and move on, he really was just a small fry after all in the game of life. Just ask Lisa.

> "the puck" I've been thinking about the iCar. I was thinking how many "good idea" cars have failed. 1950s Nash cars got 30 miles to the gallon, despite being all steel (heavy) and had a way futuristic panel. The Tucker with its three headlights. Mazda's rotary engine. The Delorean stainless steel car with gull wings. It's not enough to have a good idea, or even a good design. The business is notoriously hard in which to make a profit. How many have gone under, are nearly profitless, or have been absorbed by bigger companies? Then contrast those companies with Toyota which is notoriously conservative. They design incrementally, are rarely revolutionary, late to the party with electric vehicles (albeit early with hybrids) but they are ramping up on electric. 10 Cool Cars That Ended Up Bankrupting Their Manufacturers Reading this it occurs to me most of these are mosty higher end cars... presumably Apple's target market. Interesting to think about... makes me wonder why there wasn't a liquid metal puck... I was just reading about the Army's newer howitzers... they're much lighter because they now use extensive amounts of expensive titanium. Will Apple try to make a titanium car? When I visited a Tesla showroom I was impressed by their cast aluminum chassis. It WAS cool. I think the odds are Tesla's truck will be a failure. I expect 99% of builders look at it like I do... its damn stupid. My kingdom for a design like a no nonsense small 1995 Toyota Truck. Nash dashboard... silly but great for monster movies. 30 mpg... all steel... think about how much that weighs... leg room, steel dash, steel bumpers, steel grill... new cars don't even have bumpers. Streamlined... SKIRTs in front and rear!!! If Apple made one out of Titanium I might consider it.
