Dear Tim:
How can I make the technology work when it just might end up in the toilet
due to Steve Jobs' antics? Just what I need for my reputation: Recommending
FireWire to my customers, only to have the support pins knocked out from
under it.
If I don't keep hammering away at issues like these, my professional and
business reputation will suffer, putting me out of business. My
reputation took a big hit over Jobs' f***ing my customers with his
killing the clones: He takes the action -- And credit -- and I take the
blame.
Yours truly,
Daniel L. Schwartz,
Electrical Engineer.
P.S.: And how do YOU make YOUR living, Tim?
