I myself have used apple computers for several years they have been my machine of choice. I have found Apple Computers to fit my needs very well. Recently I have been considering a new macintosh iMac to assist as a desktop machine here. I have been very happy with the apple computers that I have had. There have been some problems but I like them none the less and they are minor. I am sadden by the recent news that apple announced that they would no longer be attending the Macworld after 2009 and that Steve Jobs the CEO would no longer be doing the keynotes. Yes Im sure Apple will go on but Steve Jobs is very important to the company. If the rumors are true that Steve Jobs is sick and thats why he won’t be there are true then this could be bad for the company but as the blog over at TUAW says if he was sick Apple would “send in a proxy like Phil but keep the rest of the game intact.” So they could just be phasing it out and Steve doesn’t want to do it anymore. Its impossible really to say for sure and all you can do is speculate. No matter what, I think apple is doing what it needs to do for the company as a whole. The Steve Jobs thing may be a little fishy but I have wanted to see Phil do a keynote again after I saw him do one back in 2004 I believe it was at the Paris Expo. Which as a Side note is now cancelled as well. I will still buy from Apple and I will be purchasing that iMac hopefully when they update them.
Good Luck Apple Im sure this move is right for you guys and thanks for the Great Computers you have made.
