One day, my seventh grade Spanish teacher gave an instruction to the class in Spanish, and one student in the classroom stood up. The student looked around at everyone else — still in their chairs — and started to sit down. The teacher raced over to him, looked him in the eye and yelled “if you know you’re right, stick to your guns.”
The kid actually shook, but the teacher was right. He was the one kid who understood what was said, but he was so uncomfortable being the one out of many that he started to sit down anyway. Maybe it’s a silly story, but for some reason, it really stays with me even today. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing or saying.
He’s making the point that in 1997, Michael Dell gave some free advice to Apple’s management. They should close up and give the money back to the shareholders. And what of those of us who were Mac users during those difficult and dark days?
To be honest, Mac OS X is still the second best Operating System that I have ever used. (the first was the UI for the Newton). And the hardware I have here is the best laptop I have ever owned.
I’m truly glad Apple stuck to their guns. Read his article for more.
