I think I agree with Alexis that Apple's R & D staff is top notch and that
they have been infected with marketing bozos from hell. I keep reading articles
talking about truly awesome technology sitting inside Apple R & D that NEVER
sees the light of day because Apple Marketing does not understand what to do
with it.

Seems like too many bozos have been hired of late who do not CARE about the
products their company makes--to them its just a job.  Perhaps Apple R & D
can succeed in spite of this. I think Apple took a major hit when they lost
Steve Jobs, warts and all HE had the FIRE to occasionally take great ideas
and turn them into real products you and I could actually purchase.

Perhaps he'll triumph again with the NeXT stuff. I hope somebody does. I
shudder to think of the fate of personal computing in the hands of MicroSoft
[The O/S from hell] and the marketing arm of Apple.

I might add that I got email from some R&D types at Apple regarding my earlier
jab in that direction, they have a good sense of humor and made it clear that
not everyone has a zillion monitors or maxed out IIx's sitting on their desks.
