Whether you liked Apple products or not, you have to hand it to Apple that they introduced products that changed the way the public interfaced with the internet and to the many 'creatives' who swear by the company's software and ease of use. Jobs was the guiding light with the vision to assemble a winning team that have done his bidding. I'm not and never have been a macophile, but the 2 laptops that I have owned over the last 10 years were instinctive enough for me to understand and have almost never given me problems, be it hardware or software and that's good enough for me
In answer to RPM, I guess that any high-end product that is in demand will always be able to command a certain price, be it Chanel, Rolls Royce, Louis Vuitton etc. Jobs managed to marry function with form and the results speak for themselves. Perhaps there
are better computers and phones etc, but for the customer it seems that the offerings are enough to satisfy.
Good job steve say I!
