    ... For those of you who haven't read the roman Ã* clef A Regular Guy (by Jobs' biological sister), we'll connect the dots: it turns out the mogul refused to pay child support for his daughter Lisa, denying she was even his, for years. Can't imagine that's healthy. At least he named a computer after her -- okay, a failed one, but there's only so much love a dad can give, eh?

    What do you mean what happened, Jobs has alway been an egotistical, sociopath, premodana, asshole. That's why we love him, he's the kind of guy that's gets dreams made into reality. Don't ever think of him as a Teddy Bear, I've heard stories about him loosing 3 assistances in a week because they all had emotional breakdowns over his tantrums. God bless him for it.

    Hate to quote myself, but what I think I was trying to say is that the book will likly be the truth, and the truth is that Woz is a great guy who had a couple of really great ideas and Jobs is an arrogant, money grubbing prick, a really successfull one...

    The Apple Lisa was not named after a kid of Jobs. It was named after someone at PARC.

    Yeah, but you can't really blame Apple - they want XP on there to help you *migrate to OSX full time. Apple doesn't want you to use XP along with OSX. Help people move their shit over, hold their hand a bit, and then be done with it and hope they forget XP is even on their machine.



    There are going to be lots of solutions out there for running OSX and XP at the same time, and who knows, maybe bootcamp is headed in that direction as well.
