SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- Five years ago, Apple Computer Inc. was barely an afterthought in the halls of electronics companies.

Not anymore. With its best-selling iPods and landmark licensing deals with music and television moguls propelling new ways of consuming digital media, Apple now is the pacesetter.

This is funny.............

Steve Jobs, Apple's rainmaker, was even parodied in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, evidence of how the Cupertino-based outfit is ingrained in pop culture like no other tech company.

In the skit, an actor impersonating the chief executive (sporting black turtleneck and jeans, of course) introduces three iPods within minutes of each other. Each device makes its predecessor obsolete -- from the iPod Micro to the iPod Pequeno, and finally the iPod Invisa, which though invisible can still hold 8 million songs and every picture ever taken.

There's a scene in the TV movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley" where Steve Jobs literally, verbally, abuses the pi$$ out of a job applicant that comes from a "traditional" computing background.

I always felt sorry for that poor schlub.

Now I know why Jobs did it...

Perhaps you've already seen this, but it's worth another look:

I just wonder how much stock Mr. Limbaugh has and if he is on the board of directors yet?

...if he is on the board of directors yet?

LOL!! and be on the same board as Al "I invented the Internet" Gore?

I don't think so.

I like that. My cassettes from the '70's still play fine.
