Bill, your so kind and I appreciate it. I am on several business sites continually, I also use Apple News, which is the best resource for information I have ever found….so among all of this I keep finding items that are so interesting, some are getting the “real” truth out and some will knock you off the stool.
You can’t believe how many guys get a kick out of running Apple in the ground, the press are like a pack, let one begin and the lemmings follow suite…like Politicians, they follow the polls. In reality there are more great things happening with Apple that needs to be told but I also know I can wear thin…one of my kids said that when they see it’s spam from me they delete without reading so if my children feel that way then what must others feel!!
