I had an Apple II and bailed on Apple when they abandoned that line in
favour of the closed ugly monochrome Macintosh. The Mac still leaves a bad
taste in my mouth. BTW, I still have my Apple II and an Imagewriter printer.
I learned computing on the Apple II and the Commodore PET with a cassette
drive. But we are dating ourselves.

I liked Woz but never trusted or liked Jobs and still would not buy anything
that he is involved with. I read an article in Forbes about Oracle and Larry
Ellison that sums up Jobs as well. Ellison says that Oracle wants its own
ecosystem. It does not want to compete or share with anyone. That is
basically where Apple is coming from. They are against competition because
it allows for the competitor to have some of the marketshare and is
therefore profit leak. It is summed up here:
