For those of you that know my technical preferences, I have never purchased and Apple product for myself. I have actively avoided everything Apple over the past 12 years and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. However, it is not my opinion here that matters.
Steve, you know you have done something amazing when you can get someone who has never even owned one of your products to see the impact you have had on everything around them.
