Re: Wozniak vs Jobs



Jeff Lemke <lemke@terra.cira.colostate.edu> spawned virtual particles writing:
: Yes, you are right, I did forget about the schools.  But still, that's a

Apple had over 50% share in education.  This was Apple's Microsoft
style wedge.  They missed the boat.

Think about all the schools with Apples, think about how graduating
students were very proficient in Apples, and would have liked to used
the same on their jobs.  Think of this slow, but surely widening wedge.

Apple blew it.
