While going over some really old files, I came across this Douglas Adams quote, pulled from his thoughts about Windows 95:
The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.
The sentiment is still as true today as back when I saved it for later use. That was way, way–way–before my employer decided I should start working on a Mac. Now, as that era is coming to an end–more on that later–I can’t help but wonder what Adams would make of this year’s batch of innovative Apple tech:
I heard Apple's new Mouse used Lightning to charge & assumed it just looks like a corded mouse when plugged in. BUT. pic.twitter.com/QWtkPcGWbD
