I’ve always thought that it was because of the isolation. Historically, Apple folk always had separate stores, conventions and magazines (Remember when magazines mattered?) and there was just really no sense of what was going on on the other side of the partition. I remember when the the Superdrive was introduced, and all my Mac friends were really hyped on it. I kept trying to figure out what was so super until I realized that there wasn’t anything, that it was just a dual layer drive, and that Apple was finally introducing them–far later than everyone else–to their hardware. I’d had a couple in various machines for at least a year, but the isolation was so complete that they all thought they were getting stunning new–and very super–hardware.
The Internet has broken down a lot of this isolation, but the ghost of it is still around for many–that vague feeling that Windows is another continent, across a wide ocean.

I don’t know how you survive in this business without hedging your bets.

Hey there Jeremy, good to hear from you.
I saw that story and I thought…………dang, dude is 4 years from 60 and still breaking into houses.
You see young folks lost trying to find their way, then someone like this who has wasted a lifetime. Sad
LL, no security needed.

No matter how much time passes, one is still lost if you were never given a bit of direction in the first place.

Well said, that’s why I show up to the schools and talk to kids about a career in TV or them following their dreams.
If I reach one child it’s worth it : )
