  Been a Mac/Apple user for 25 years. Owned a Newton, a handful of Mac clones, navigated the crazy product matrix, went through the PowerPC transition and the Intel one, and experienced the clarity of focus and product consolidation that came under Jobs return to Apple. The trend for the last 2-3 years seems to be steering toward the bad old days of disjointed brand focus and odd/sprawling product matrix, not toward clear consolidation that's driving toward some clear purpose or mission. I'm hopeful that things come around, because the alternatives are still worse, despite my trying very hard to adopt them, but I'm concerned that in the not too distant future my consumer options for tech are going to be amongst a bunch of middling options instead of a field of mediocrity with one clear standout from the crowd.
