A well thought out look back on the evolution of Apple Computers that leaves me with one clear thought — I’m more a [Wozniak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak) than a [Jobs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs).

In part, that is probably why I gravitate toward Google technologies like [GWT](https://code.google.com/webtoolkit/). I learn by taking things apart, sometimes breaking, sometimes improving in the process.

The iPad/iPhone ecosystem has no place for me. I only hope that MacOS X does not converge with what appears to be Apple’s plan for the iPad.
