Matt, what's wrong with "The Woz". I take it as a tribute or sign of
admiration for a man that had brought the computer to the "Rest of Us" (Yes, I
feel the Apple II did that, and the Mac is not "For the Rest of Us", its too
damn expensive to be so). Think if it as synonymous with the intent behind
saying "The Gipper" or "THE Boss" or "The Man"... You work for that company
"The Woz" created, that has recently become out of touch with "The Rest of Us"
unless that should mostly include business and government. Don't get me
wrong, I appreciate the feedback that the few Apple employees give by being
online with end users, and the help you lend when you can; I just feel the
company is loosing touch with its foundation. Maybe Apple should look to the
ideas behind what "The Woz" was doing when he created the Apple II, and Apple
Computer, Inc.
