Steve's or perhaps that should be steven's love of fonts later in life is doubly interesting when you see his signature's flouting of traditional rules.

$4.01 at RS?
Guess the dude never carried cash  

Being a business expense it makes sense to write a check over doing petty cash or having the company refund you out of your own pocket.

Exactly. 

OMG, so good to read DED again.  I started working with Apple in 1977 and lived through everything written here. I am so glad I had faith and bought a shit load of AAPL.

I assume Sony currently supplies Apple at the moment. It will be some feat to best Sony IMHO.   Given Sony also provides sensors for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, not to mention Sony's sensors are also used in a wide range of non-phone cameras, from point-and-shoots to professional DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Some major camera manufacturers that use Sony sensors include Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm. To add to Sony's impressive lineup, Sony's new sensor used in the global shutter technology in the A9III is a phenomenal achievement which I would have thought Apple would have lept at.

It will be, but Apple also doesn't have to beat Sony to benefit from trying to compete with Sony. If Sony perceives Apple's intentions as a threat to their bottom line they can lower prices for Apple to make it less advantageous for Apple to move to a difference vendor.

And that could be what's going on, of course, although I read it as not going to a different vendor, but rather going in-house.  As soon as I read about the global shutter sensors, I hoped Apple would be all over it; I would assume there would be some patent issues involved for Apple if they go it alone too.

I always hoped Apple would buy Sony, after ESPN that is
