I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your logic. He didn't buy it - Apple leased it, and then wrote it off. And the reason he did it was because he was in an internal war with the Apple II group at the time, who he was demonizing as stupid, uncouth, mouth-breathing losers compared to the Mac group. That's why he got them pianos and fruit drinks and massages and all the other perks, to show up the other group.
As for the rest of this thread - the idea that as long as he earned his money in a way that didn't get him thrown in jail, it means he was a stand-up guy - pretty much sums up every caracature of conservatives the liberals scream about.

Now what chapter and verse was that from?
Great purity seems sullied
