Ah, Apple advocates. They were, and still are, forever hotheaded, forever religious in their fervor. So were the hotheads on the other side, whatever was the opposite side du jour. Part of the folklore.

But if there is one thing that is remarkable about Jobs and Apple, it is the unusually small amount of ill will accumulated for a company with that net worth. Just think about the historical counterparts: IBM at the top of their might, later Microsoft?

I always liked their stuff, but with one exception (my son got iTouch 3G for his birthday) could never justify the price tag. Never felt the urge to bash Apple as a company, either.
