Is this the man you admired.?

Hi Carling

I have to admit something here till i saw this person had died i really did not have a clue who he was. that was how much of an impression he had on me.

when i did see one of his presentations my immediate reaction was oh another ceo like Bill gates who just used to get up and spout his lines and somehow had the young spell bound with new toys.

so you see i have no interested in these people they are usually full of there own importance like our alan mark sugar. he was a sharp operator who had some luck with some electronic rubbish which was always a headache as it was so poorly built.

Now i fist encountered the apple products way back in 1981 when i first passed my radio amateur exam and was playing with computers with 6502 chips as the processors in them.

well i have this mate who is air crew well he came back from a trip to honk kong with this computer which looked like the apple machine at the time to find out what it was was a second, that is a computer that had be reject as not up to the performance of what the company was expecting.

that company turns out to apple. so they where getting the chinese to produce these in vast numbers but when tested some failed the testy and should have been busted in to small pieces, but you know as well as i do someone was going to make money from them.

well this was one of them and boy it it have some flaws it was locking up and throwing all sorts of problems. so it ended up in the dustbin as far as i can recall. well two years later the so called genuine article well it was no better. which means it was all rubbish not matter what it was sold as.

so anything apple i regarded as just like the amstrad rubbish and when back then having owned the iconic BBC B machine with a add on Z80 processor designed here in cambridge suffolk england which used the old CPM operating system which was then superior to just about anything.

well back to apple well i have in recent years tried to repair these PCs and was not impressed till i heard they had dropped the old G5 idea and now because IBM where no longer producing the processor chips switched to INTEL processors.

well that is how linux got started with linus managing to port intel chips with unix type operating system years ahead of either BIll gates and his merry band or this Jobbs fellow so how these two idiots can now claim what they are is absolutely ridiculous.

they have just used political power to buy themselves into this already tapped market.

these pair of megalomaniacs need telling where to get off. well we will not get the chance now with one of them but it really good riddance to be honest.

I am not sure admire is the word, I appreciate people that help or inspire others to do good things.

I do not like many Corporations.

I admire the moment that is.

If a person makes or takes many paper monies, that is ok. Is just paper monies, no real value or originality in that.

I have to actually know a human before I can admire a human. I never met that man, so I never admired that man.

I never met Thomas Edison, so I cannot say that I admire that man either.

I admire the people that I have known.

I never knew that man.
