Apple died years ago.  The microscopic installed base that Apple is
clinging to is testament to this very fact.

Jobs is an idiot.  He markets his overpriced and overhyped junk to the
masses and mandates a "my way or the highway" attitude.  Macs are now
basically just PC boxes running a customised version of NetBSD. The
Mac itself is essentially dead as it no longer has a unique hardware
base any more.  Might as well throw in the towel Mr Jobs along with
your ego.

I lost all respect for Apple when they continually failed to support
the Apple // line in its later years and then dumped it like a hot
potato - even when it was a big seller.  Morons.
