Case in point, the idiots that just keep buying the newest apple product, regardless of their current phone being perfectly fine.

Fancy, hip, and cool to own a Toyota? Betta check yo facts. I know you were banned for a bit, but you weren't banned from life.

You can point to the original sales sheets of how it sold well at first, but that's before the Internet age and before the "this thing is a heaping pile of donkey ****" word got spread.
Not everything the man touched turned to gold.

Current portfolio. Outside of Apple III, he was pretty on the mark.

I never said it was new. I said he reinvented it. Now nothing can come close to how music is transferred and paid for on the internetz.

Smartphones were around a LONG time before the iPhone came out, thats why I keep saying Jobs didnt do anything in this respect, again stupid sheep.

Never said he invented it, but look at EVERY other smart phone company now. They either followed iPhone(Samsung, HTC, Moto, LG), or they are seeing massive sales drops (Blackberry, Nokia, Palm).

Actually I hate almost ALL technology at this point and one day I hope to live largely without it. I will have to depend on it for certain things.

Not sure how this helps your argument. If you don't like technology, you probably don't give a **** about whatever he put together.
98% of what Jobs brought to market was gold, and not only that, but Reinvented that market. |
