Apple always has been run by a bungh of gumchewing hippies. Good Computers though. I have four of them.
If we go back in time to the mid-eighties when the first IBM-PC vs. Mac wars were breaking out, one reason to be in the IBM-PC camp was because you didn’t want one company to control your entire range of HW/SW choices. And one reason you were in the Mac camp was because that was just fine with you if they did. Now flash forward 25 years later and we see plenty that has changed but that one difference is still there.
