Story has a way to repeat itself. Once upon a time I used a Mac for work and leisure. I read MacWorld, MacUser and MacAddict and for sure learned to love the company and the philosophy that create the "Mac way".
But then, the inconformity of Mac culture drive itself to endless comparations of itself with Windows users. In fact, the most detailed articles comparing Windows and Mac OS appeared in MacWorld and MacUser. Could you believe that i learned more about Windows reading Macintosh magazines than many Windows users learn reading their OS documentation? When i had the opportunity to sit down with a Windows user to view his Windows PC, i knew more about the Windows GUI than himself. All this knowledge directly from Mac magazines. The tipping point and warning signal that i have to change from Mac to Windows was an infamous ad with an Intel processor on the back of a snail... I have to thanks the Mac culture for educating me in many computing task, like frecuent data backup, keeping organized my files in neatly labeled folders and be careful about viruses. (At the moment of writing this, I still have not infected any of my computers with a virus) Time have proved that i make the right choice when i changed platforms and skip the whole PowerPC and complete list of propietary interface external devices "experience". Today you could buy a Mac and, if you wish, run Windows and Linux on the same machine using cross platform hardware and if you are enough motivated you could do otherwise... So, what this history teach me about iPad future? Apple changes, and changes always in the direction of profits. Do you want to be 100% accurate about future Apple developments in software and hardware? Look first at the directions where profits are blowing. Could you feel the breeze?... ;-) Alejandro -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OT-GameOver-Mr-Jobs-tp2062566p2074872.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
