In the realm of the Apple | | Macintosh, as in Catholic Europe, | | worshipers peer devoutly into screens | | filled with "icons." All is sound and | | imagery and Appledom. Even words look | | like decorative filigrees in exotic | | typefaces. The greatest icon of all, | | the inviolable Apple itself, stands in | | the dominate position at the upper-left | | corner of the screen. A central | | corporate headquarters decrees the form | | of all rites and practices. Infalliable | | doctrine issues from one executive | | officer whose selection occurs in a | | sealed boardroom. Should anyone in his | | curia question his powers, the offender | | is excommunicated into outer darkness. | | The expelled heretic founds a new | | company, mutters obscurely of the | | coming age and the next computer, then | | disappears into silence, taking his | | stockholders with him. The mother | | company forbids financial competition | | as sternly as it stifles ideological | | competition; if you want to use | | computer programs that conform to | | Apple's orthodoxy, you must buy a | | computer made and sold by Apple itself. | | | | -- Edward Mendelson, "The New | \ Republic", February 22, 1988 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
