Apples second coming?

Interestng article (NOTE: Link will probably take you to a sign in page, if so, dont bother) over at the Sydney Morning Herald webpage. The guy is talking about ‘apples second coming’. Has some interesting thoughts about what apple did / is doing wrong. Also talks a bit about what they are doing right. He kinda defends windows and ‘beige boxes’ but the bit i like is:

Like millions of others, I am a proud iPod owner. Being able to take every piece of music I own with me wherever I go has changed my life. Apple is basking in the “halo effect” of the iPod, and many who would not previously have considered a Mac are now doing so.

I am one of these. Owing to a realignment of certain business activities, I find myself the proud owner of two Macintoshes. I would never consider them as my primary computer, because the Windows world is so much bigger and offers so much more, but for some functions they cannot be surpassed.

The windows world is bigger and offers much more – ok *shrugs*, i just like how he owns an ipod and 2 macintoshs. Seems kinda ironic.. heh
