MacWorld Keynote, Steve Jobs

A big percentage of my friends, my readers, and the generally kool, kooky and fun people around are Mac fans and iPod fans. If you have never seen a Steve Jobs keynote speech before, now is a good time to start. I always watch one when there is a new one. Steve is an amazing guy, who has a huge enthusiasm for creating technology which makes life easier, more fun, and more creative for all of us (instead of a tiny minority who has the time to learn complex computing).

As it happens usually at MacWorld events, Apple Computer has just announced a slew of exciting new products and services. Easy and exciting new ways of sharing your photos and so on, new machines, etc. I honestly think that not only are Apple's products and attitude the best in the world, but they also set a gold standard that others are working hard to live up to, in terms of excellence, fun, ease of use, and setting the customer first and uppermost. Without them, it would be a much greyer and more boring world running on DOS 9.1. Well done, Steve and Apple.
