This is on a rather short-term scale. Coca cola will always be coca-cola. In a few years, Apple will be past.

Coca Cola is more successful as they already sold the lifestyle...
They just need to keep up appearances and they will keep growing, apple might have surpassed them for now, but a very famous saying states:" That which grows so fast will fall equally as fast"

Yes, but that's just money.

Apple proves that people tend to be sheep, not wolves. I was amazed at the phone store how people immediately went for the overpriced apple. This should end with time since Steve Jobs is not around. Apple will go through hard times again like they did with Scully.

And don's forget the IRS, NSA, CIA, FBI, AFL/CIO, ACLU, EPA, NAACP, SPCA and lest us forget NCAA.

Friggin' hilarious! It's worse than my wife trying to explain car electrics to me in Chinglish.

I just started reading his "Doughnut" book, and meet this quote:
"In the beginning was the Word.
Not, perhaps, the most auspicious start for a cosmos; because once you have a Word, sooner or later you find you’ve also got an annoying Paperclip, and little wriggly red lines like tapeworms under all the proper nouns, and then everything freezes solid and dies. This last stage is known to geologists as the Ice Age, and one can’t help thinking that it could’ve been avoided if only the multiverse had been thoroughly debugged before it was released"
He's a geek!

Yes
Nothing wrong with your memory at all Griff.
I had forgotten all about EDLIN, until you mentioned it.

NAAAAH, In the beginning was, it was Copy CON: housed within humble Command.COM
Seems like no one remembers the original method of creating a batch file in early DOS Versions
(as was shown in Microsoft manuals). This was before geeks @ Microsoft wisened up to copy UNIX redirection idea.
C:> Copy Con: somefile.bat
echo first line of batch
echo %1
^Z
1 file(s) copied.
C:>

Ouch those were the days.
The first batch file I wrote was done precisely like this. The first programming I did on the PC was via the command-line 'debug.com' - that thing made batch-file editing like the above almost seem luxurious.
