[DJ Paulie]

I doubt he'll be signing on any time soon ;)

It'll be downhill for Apple now IMO.

Aparently Steve owns a grand total of 313 to his name. These range from some relatively insignificant ones to innovations which have helped define the fate of the company.

Take the click wheel for example. It is probably the most significant trait of the iPod device, which despite being rather late in its arrival, changed the way portable audio was done. Then there was no more drag and drop, all you had to do was connect your iPod to your Mac with Firewire, and iTunes did the rest.

But it’s not just the key innovations such as the click wheel which have been patented under Jobs’ name. Even the iconic staircases found throughout Apple Stores are covered by patents, and such attention to detail is what has separated Apple from the rest.

Ok so it was late (or early !) :Sleeping:

[flatliners]

Well it don't really bother me as i have never used an apple product

[DazzyD]

I used to work for Apple Macintosh in 93/94 which I believe was the period between Jobs' time at the company and the products they were turning out left a lot to be desired.

For example, there was the PowerPC, a Mac and PC hybrid that could run MAC System 7 and Windows. It never really caught on. Not surprising, really, as it didn't really work!!!

When Jobs came back to Apple, he really turned the company around and the rest, as they say, is history!

But I bet you've used products that have been influenced by Apple.

Don't you feel like your missing out? Having tried one and not liking it is one thing but to have never tried one out????
