How's he do that and why isn't Jobs on the top of the world's richest men lists? When Bill and Warren Buffett are playing bridge, which they do often, there's more money sitting at that table than most of the Fortune 500 Companies....an amazing feat! Does the loser buy lunch or does Warren just take Bill to one of his Dairy Queens on one of his new trains? http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/06/27/business/friends_600.jpg http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/039I0IR7I8b0U/610x.jpg -- Global Warming and Creationism are to science what storks are to obstetrics... Larry I'm a big fan of Warren Buffett, by the way. The richest man in America lives in a modest house and his daughter made him go buy a new truck because she said his old Chevy was awful. http://www.thecitrusreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/0309_billie- homes-warren-buffett-omaha-nebraska_485x340.jpg

There's something a little fishy here: "the best personal computers in the world". It seems a bit unlikely for any company to put such opinion-based wording in a press release ... they'll get inundated by lawsuits from other companies. ?:-\

So Apple has given up building them I guess. It just designs cool gear.
