 That's actually not true !
 Steve was a lot of things, but at least he did care about putting out
 a product that actually did what was claimed for it.
 Steve believed ( as have I most of my life ) that people would want to
 pay what something is worth. A higher price for better quality.
 Unfortunately, both he and I have learned differently.
 People want cheap, even if it doesn't work, cheap is better.

 I find Ubuntu difficult myself, until I can get the command prompt.
 Then, not so bad as it first appears, but it does do things in some
 "non standard" ( OK, *MY* standards ) ways.

 At least with Microsoft, there are now only a dozen or so
 different OS's, and they *try* to make them *look* similar.
 ( both a blessing and a curse )
 Claiming some Linux affiliation, well over 500.
