The Jobs takes medical leave and Apple's stock dips.  I have to wonder
how much of the sheen is a cult of personality and there is no number
Two.  The guy is dying, it isn't going to be forever.

Sure Apple has pretty toys, but they practice lock in like Microsoft
wishes it could.  There are flaws in the hardware and software and they
are stuck with what is known to be the worse phone service in the
nation, still, the faithful flock year after year to be inconvenienced
and pay too much money for the flawed pretty toys.

I considered a Mac at one point.  The price drove me off.  They are not
that much money better than say Acer.
