Good review. Poolside is great, but please consider your neighbors if you are camping. We’ve seen a trend over the past few years in the USA Pacific Northwest where loud music from adjacent sites spoil the joy of nature’s beautiful sounds.  Many RV manufacturers these days contribute to it with outdoor speakers mounted on the sidewall of trailers, vans, and motorhomes. These outward facing, high up on these vehicles, projecting out into camp rather than pointed down to the campsite. The persons using them have to crank up the volume for them to be heard and often don’t realize (or care?) that it carries across the entire campground. I would love to see manufacturers include parabolic directional speakers that project the sound down from RV awnings or the like so that those in the site enjoy the music or movie while minimizing the sound carrying beyond the site. Many museums have what I describe here. 

It’s been said that one person’s rights end where another’s begin. The adjacent campers who wants to enjoy nature sounds already in the environment should be able to do so. Somehow hearing the laughter of a child, talking of adults, crackling of a campfire, or the like is different from unwelcome, constant  speaker-projected music that invades one’s campsite.   If we are listening to music while camping (admittedly rare) we make sure to check our surroundings first and avoid the sound carrying beyond our site. 

If you’re on your own or well away from others, blast to your heart’s content.  

Odd.  I purchased and installed a Pioneer head unit for our car (not BMW) that supports CarPlay for less than BMW’s up charge.

Am I the only person who finds this auction highly suspect?!? 

System 6.0 came out in 1988. Jobs was ousted from Apple in 1985. He was pushing the Next Cube at the time and actually had great contempt for a Sculley run Apple. So, I highly doubt he would have autographed a System 6.0 disk.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Yep. I and others posted the same above. 

What is interesting (suspect) here is that Steve was not at Apple when this version of MacOS was out. This would imply that it either is a fake or it was while he was at NeXt.   If while at NeXt, why would he bother to sign it?

Actually a merger would have made / makes a lot of sense.  Content companies merging with hardware is not unusual. Sony is one example.  Yes, Sony isn’t as successful as they should be these days, but don’t blame that on the idea.  Comcast owns the network and the content.  

The challenge they would face is claims of monopoly. 

Disney also had humble beginnings like Apple. They have a trove of content, media outlets, real estate, theme parks and more.  Both have a storied history of seeking excellence and careful attention to detail. Take a look at their theme parks compared to others and you will quickly notice their effort to maintain them that far surpasses others.  It is rare to even see a handrail that isn’t perfectly painted and kept that way.
