I'm not sure I'd characterize Jobs' arrival as that of a Saviour. Quite the opposite, maybe. I think I bore witness to the paradigm shift, which began with the arrival of the Apple ][, and the inauguration of Reagan. That's when the best of Humanity started to disappear, leading to this mass of bleating sheep staring vacantly into their iPhones, ignoring all life around them. Maybe all that business in Genesis about a snake and an apple wasn't so far off after all. This has all happened before. And it will happen again. And again. And again...

Don't take me wrong. No kind words for Jobs from myself. My point was the zombie masses fantasize of his godliness, as you point out. Presently Apple continues divestment from this country, investing their profits and manpower in Ireland and elsewhere. Apple geeks pride themselves as above the fray. Bull#%*&!!

^He's bothered by actual discussion. Perhaps we should resume the hurling of vapid one-liners and insults, so he can play along...

So true, but I'll resist the temptation for now.

The Jobs story, though, gets even better, the ironies and contradictions piling up like cord wood. It happens Job's parents were Syrian immigrants. OH-OH!! Trumpies  and Cruzers best strap on their boots, round up Apple users into camps, begin confiscation of Apple products, and toss them on burning piles in the streets.

Fiction couldn't be better.
