As a visual piece of irony, whenever I’m talking about anything relating to the Cult of Apple I’ve CAPITALIZED LITTLE PHRASES. When I wanted to go to MacWorld so I could bask in THE GLOW OF STEVE I was disappointed that I probably wouldn’t be one of the few chosen that would get to hear THE WORD OF STEVE (keynote address), etc, etc. The basic premise is that I now understand all of my Mac-rabid friends over the years who chanted, “Apple is good! Steve is our saviour!” and while I agree with them mostly these days, I hope I can give myself a little reminder whenever I’m speaking out of dogma.
So yes, thank you Apple, thank you Steve. I’ve seen the light, I understand the power. But I’m hoping that I’ll be able to keep A MIND OF MY OWN.
