by the way, Apple hasn't given us anything in a while except for a repettive iPod commercial. Sure, te pretty colors and dancing shades were cool, but that has worn off in my mind.
Apple has just ignored a landmark moment for personal computing, sure I'm more of a low-level operating system guy that enjoys Linux text commands when using Yellow dog, however, those annoying gui icons that eat up your computer's resources for pointless little metaphors weren't really mainstream until the coming of the Mac, and that was twenty years ago. the modern os was invented 20 years ago, shouldn't there be some massive, collective celebration of all of those who use their computers on a daily basis? What about the very manufacturer, shouldn't they have done something for this landmark moment? I feel that Apple really needs to appease more to their loyal fans. Even though they can take us for granted, hell, we're never going to buy a pc unless to run the magical os, linux. Or Apple degraded themselves to a point that they had become something like NeXT and only made OSs, in which case we would still buy those OSs. So it's pretty clear they don't have to appease to us. But maybe to make us happy, they could show how much they can appease to a loyal Mac user thus urging the masses to switch so Apple can appease to them as well: Another great ad campaign.
