Quotes from MAC addicts upon news of the iPod - circa 2001

Post by +JuggerNaut+ »

Great just what the world needs, another freaking MP3 player. Go Steve! Where's the Newton?!
Sounds very revolutionary to me. :icon33:

hey - heres an idea Apple - rather than enter the world of gimmicks and toys, why dont you spend a little more time sorting out your pathetically expensive and crap server line up? :icon33:
or are you really aiming to become a glorified consumer gimmicks firm?
here's one of the better ones:
All that hype for an MP3 player? Break-thru digital device? The Reality Distiortion Field™ is starting to warp Steve's mind if he thinks for one second that this thing is gonna take off.
:olo: :olo:

i wonder what these dumb@sses have to say for themselves now?

Still makes the point about how often people love spouting unsubstantiated bullshit, and how it's forgotten so quickly so there's little accountability for doing so.

The thing about the iPod is that for me, and most other people, the first time you get your hands on one you think "holy fuck this is the best thing ever

Michael Dell said a few years ago that he'd liquidate the company and give the shares back to the shareholders. How wrong he was...he now wants a piece of the action and has offered apple deals for them to distribute OS X.
