They become an extension of ourselves, unique to the user... My Ipad is mine. It has been customized to fit me. I did not have to change to fit it.

When I applied for a job with Apple Sweden in 1988, Sören Olsson asked me: "why Apple?" I said - "I have been around computers for more than 20 years now, and in the last few years Apple has three times surprised me with producing actually useful things: first Apple II and Visicalc, then the Lisa and now 4D. So I thought I might as well work for you." The iPad may not be ready yet, and the usual Apple haters can only find faults with it. But the truth is that it is showing the way for a new class of devices, for ordinary people who cannot be bothered anymore with a bewildering world of technical options. This is made for the rest of us. To those that need a monitor interface for Linux, I can only say go ahead and write the software. But don't forget to buy Apple stock. Well said, as always.
