ok... to start off, i'll date myself: first computer 1977 Apple 1, build (and owned) by best friend and myself in 10th grade. so mac/pc commercials :-) but i also remember "i bleed in 6 colors" & our beloved "Clarus the dogcow" i'm old!

so to answer your question... HELL YES!!! unless you are talking about detail of the bottom line.

To my view Apple care little about quality of product these days mostly because they Cook cares more about deliverables then usability. 1st piece of evidence developers no longer need to adhere to anything like "The Human Interface Guidelines" so there is no consistent UI. Developers all think they are designers, they are not!

Steve was and ASSHOLE but he was also a humanitarian; among his many skills was that he understood that humans crave at least the appearance of control over our environment, he looked for how we did things in the real world and worked with great developers, designers & END USERS to build them. AND LEGACY was at least considered carefully before replaced.

This was the Apple we loved and "evangelized" The Macintosh Way

So at this point i'm not buying new Apple hardware or staying in their ethos. I'm looking for a couple of guys in a garage... Maybe Ive's 'little' project?
