[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 9639, member: 126"] Wow, wrong on a few levels. The low price X-32 is certainly an achievement but not revolutionary. Ford was a true visionary about advancing manufacturing technology (assembly line) and even for paying his workers more (so workers could afford to buy a car). While the later Apple products were (are) derivative the early work involving Wozniak (an actual engineer) was pretty significant. yes, Apple has excelled at execution of the entire product experience. Superior design, craftsmanship, customer service , and the complete product "eco-system". For a music player that means easy access to music, for a computer that is basic operating software, etc. While I agree that products deserve to be judged on their merits (and I try to), none of us get to re-write our history, and shed baggage from our past behavior. I won't rehash history for those who do not know it, because it's "history" (the audio doesn't care), but those of us with decades of experience in these markets will be influenced by that history we lived. YMMV JR [/QUOTE]
