I bought my first Mac in 1984, and have owned at least one of almost every hardware they've made. But I didn't go see the movie - nor did I intend to - because while I enjoy the productivity of the Apple technology, I'm not interested in the resistance "from behind". The politics and mudslinging.
Just as I didn't get all that much out of The Social Network, as I couldn't figure out who and why the intended audience for the movie was. I write PHP scripts, I hosted my first BBS in 1986, I've been through dial-up modems, software that came and went, and hardware that cost months pay, that wen't obsolete in months... I don't want to re-live all of that through the eyes of the over-paid and under-worked winged monkeys that is SIlicon Valley.
Apple today is not Apple then. Watching the movie would only make me bad abut all of the Computers and systems they run on, are Camels Designed by Committee.
