Also funny in that quote, it could be reported speech if they just added an apostrophe . "With the launch of [my] first product, the iMac G3, I've turned the utilitarian gray desktop computer into a translucent, gumdrop-shaped fashion statement."…

Pretty excited here. Everything I wanted apart from the glass cover screen; I've said to myself I'm not going to get another laptop with a dust-magnet screen rim, but as I said, EVERYTHING else I wanted, I might have to make an exception. So just…
