One that may have been influenced by the philosophy that Woz supported, 
of user expansion... Honestly, Jobs' vision now is of computers as 
appliances and Apple as an Appliance maker - no different in many ways 
to the Mac. The iMac and iBook are Jobs' vision, the desktops are what 
the market desires, as most Macs with slots have been.

There is no issue here. Why does anyone need to feel the need to 
question each little point? The G5 is good. It may not be first, or 
best, or fastest, but it's the best Apple personal computer ever. What 
on earth is there to argue about? ;)

Of course Jobs has a lot of control over the company and products. He is 
the CEO. He is paid to have a lot of control.
