There are many people who relate that they went into careers in science, medicine, etc. because of growing up watching classic Star Trek episodes. This is reportedly a great source of pride for the family of that show's creator and many of its surviving cast members.

Nowadays, we see men in their mid-to-late twenties trying to imitate their hero based solely on the distorted characterizations that they have seen in books and shows --even going so far as to experiment with LSD (thank you Walter Isaacson), all the while plowing through other people's money trying to produce apps and websites that will "change the world".

It may be too late for Apple to set the record straight (with its own heavily promoted historical features that keep Steve in the context of Apple/NeXT) and we may see malignment of the entire industry as one run on snake-oil disasters like Snap, Uber and thousands more on their way.

Then again, who would go see a corporate opera about Ken (except Steve) --maybe if they have Kyrre do the score for Steve's?

Thank you for you valuable feedback. A very good time we want you to have with our codes and wares and are so-sorry for your discomfort. Please feel free to reach out to us again to receive the exact same dispassionate response.

@lkrupp no, they're doing UltraFine and then there's https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/b/1df875df-fb0c-4020-bec7-e1f36cf299e3

Seriously though, they could go full-Microsoft for the next decade and it would still be two more decades before they stop paying the gardeners. A lot of us have been using their technology since the last time that almost happened, though there were some defections...

I plan to buy one without hesitation, even after being horribly betrayed with the UltraFine BS, but they had better not use the ASIC/ARm coprocessor to lockout the Hackintosh crowd (which is mainly composed of people who can't afford to pay for Apple's quality or have special needs that Apple isn't willing to address), at least not without offering them an alternative (like open/cheap macMinis and a RPi-like board).
