I think Apple is a very closed-minded company, but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating their dedication to producing the finest hardware and software products.Windows and Linux trolls simply don't get it.Microsoft pretty much takes half their ideas from Mac and have done this for over two decades.As for the Linux desktop, that's just a lesson in ugliness, LACK OF INNOVATION, and LACK OF POLISH when you actually sit down and take the time to compare it to the refinement in Mac OS X. The Linux community (especially Canonical, Gnome, KDE, ...) really needs to learn how to make much more POLISHED user interfaces of PROFESSIONAL quality because what we have now simply doesn't cut it.
I had a workstation that was black with purple accents long before imac came out.Thank god for bitorrent/USENET/IRC..etc..etc..etc.! :) Oh, did you mean itunes? What's that? I don't have an ipod or iphone. ;)Smartphones with touchscreens and apps stores been around long before the iphone/touch.I don't buy a laptop to have sex with...nor would I recommend it. ;)I did not have a black turtleneck (I'm in the tropics), nor do I drink apple flavoured Kool-Aid. I prefer tea... Earl Grey... HOT :)
Not just the OS, the hardware too! Nobody could touch the Amiga's hardware at the time and even after Commod-door went bankrupt. It's only just sheer luck that Apple has survived. Even today, it's amazing that with less market share than they had in the 80's, the dead keeps walking.

The Cube was just too expensive. That really is the only reason I see why it didn't do well. It was intro-ed at $1599. The Mini intro-ed at $499.
