My cousin, a very nice bloke who has my love and respect, is a Mac enthusiast. He has taken his maclumps however, and likes to describe Apple as a company with just as much attitude as Microsoft, just without the market share.

I am an EX-mac fan. Not so much because of the platform, but because of the poor treatment doled out by Apple the company in oh so many ways. And I was given a 40 GB iPOD and frankly couldn't stand it so had to give it away or toss it through a window. I now use a much less expensive SanDisk which comes with an FM radio to boot.

Jobs should stand for his actions as should any other executive, and as Martha Stewart had to do.
