Owned two Apple IIs, bought a Mac three days after they were released, ran an entire business in the 80’s on Macs. Apple got behind on a new version of the Mac operating system that would have BURIED the PC (system 10) and brought back Jobs to ‘save’ the company.

Jobs returned, cancelled system 10, and proceeded to develop throw away plastic consumer junk. Me and Apple parted ways then.

As far as I’m concerned, it was Jobs return that killed the remarkable and truly innovative Apple.

In other words you are criticizing Jobs for ruining the company while admitting that you basically have no experience with any of Apple's products for the better part of the last 17 years,
