I'm not Apple's biggest fan as you all know, but their hardware excellent, sexy and even I like it.
GTI_Jamo, Let's not drag this thread down, the man is dead respect him and what he has done, love him or hate him. I will also admit he has had a profound effect on modern technology, would Sir Berners-Lee have created the first web server if it weren't for the NeXTcube that Steve and co. at NeXT created? Would Microsoft have done the original Windows that lead to what most people use now, if it weren't for Apple inviting the Microsoft execs over and showing them what they had stole from Xerox ?
There is a lot of stuff Apple took inspiration from, then created it in their own unique style that has lead to others pushing the boundaries.
