The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere
Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.
I used to do crazy tricks. I would stand on the seat, wheelies, stuff like that.
I feel like an email cross-dresser - I use a Microsoft product on my Apple product to access my Google product.
I used to want to be a computer programmer when I was younger. We got an Apple II Plus when I was, like, 11 and I wrote programs and BASIC on that, like I think a lot of people did, but I have no idea how to program in the current languages at all.
I've never owned an Apple product. I like the fact that PCs are open architecture and not locked down like Apple products. I feel that Macs are also unjustifiably overpriced.
Arguably Apple's least successful core hardware product in decades, the Apple Watch could have been nursed along, like a terminal patient.
I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II.

Like any well designed software product, Windows is designed, developed and tested as an integrated whole.
We are proposing that there is value in a totally new product category and a totally new set of questions. Just like the Apple II proposed, 'Would you reasonably want a computer in your home if you weren't an accountant or professional?' That is the question Glass is asking, and I hope in the end that is how it will be judged.
With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.
But Apple really beats to a different drummer. I used to say that Apple should be the Sony of this business, but in reality, I think Apple should be the Apple of this business.
I am an Apple addict. I have every Apple product, and I buy them so that I can complain about it, you know.
The tricks and artifices of advertising are available to the seller of the better product no less than to the seller of the poorer product. But only the former enjoys the advantage derived from the better quality of his product.
Remember when we used to worry about some weirdo having a razor blade inside an apple on Halloween? Not anymore. Like a kid today would eat an apple.
