This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's unfortunate because his leadership / sense of taste is what made Apple a powerhouse. Under Tim Apple, the software has languished. They're great at hardware and the software is far from great. What a shame.

I never like to let people forget the raw fruit diet comes from a cult that believes people from Venus told us that's the key to eternal life

So they went ahead and picked the least habitable planet in our entire solar system to harbor a civilization? They should have said Europa, at least then it would have been moderately believable.

That's just how good fruit is for you, you can even live on Venus no problem

Before he died, he did say it was one of his biggest regrets.

"one of", not "the"? Now I'm wondering what could someone like him regret more than the choice that literally killed him?

I'd be far more interested in learning more about the other folks on the Macintosh team. They're an amazing group of people who put a lot of care into something they believed in, Steve Jobs notwithstanding. What they did with what they had was amazing, and the fact that they got lost in Jobs' spotlight is tragic.

Dude sent his kids to a Waldorf school.

I mean, his kids doesn't actually learn how to write, their ass is covered, but I wonder how many followed the example of this idiot.

People who don't know anything about education are such suckers for that shit.

Dying elevates any career. It happens in sports all the time, a dead player is praised above better, still living players from their era. Senna and Prost come to mind

being smart at something doesn't mean youre smart at everything. not that im saying that jobs was smart, but its not a given. e.g how there are scientists who are anti-vax
