Coz I know the Apple PR Manager for Oz... and she's good!

Yeah it's a good looker but I'm always cynical about the big budget marketing that makes "world class" anything when in fact there is better kit out there - they just have the marketing budget to conquor those that do int he market.

I offer McDonalds, Microsoft, and vhs as examples of world beating crap. Big budget - they got popular, and anything better simply didn't get market share, revenue, and the market was denied a better tool for the job.

Form <> Function. Never ever forget that.
