yes, and almost 24 years later they were exactly correct. Now most EVERY
computer uses the Mac interface. Sure, some are still using Windows
which are very poorly made "Mac Clones", but everyone uses a Mac. Apple
was correct.

Ah, but you don't understand how all this works. Apple sets the
direction for others to "follow", Apple doesn't need to make every
machine, it just needs to set the direction. Look at the PC, WWW, iPod,
iPhone, these are all SJ/Apple inspired devices and it's what everyone
users at one level or another.
The iPhone has wonderful batter life and the best sound of any
Cell/Smartphone. So learn a little will you?

The iPod is only one aspect, it's simply not the PRIMARY aspect. It's
also a FULL web browser, full email, full phone, nobody else has that in
such a small, powerful, low cost package. Only Apple has the resources
for such an achievement.

Yes, but again it goes back to "the direction" that Apple now has
control over the cell/smartphone industry. This industry was floundering
until Apple set it straight on June 29th 2007. You'll see what I'm
talking about in about 2-20 years. Everything will try and work like
what Apple is doing. It's just how the universe works.
