"After Steve Jobs, Apple regressed to independent."
lol - the only reason the Apple II had slots is Woz threatened to quit if SJ won on excluding them.
The Original Mac wasn't designed to be opened by users. You had to have a LONG handle Torx screwdriver to open it. Job's was VERY much into appliance computing. Any expansion baked into any Mac was in spite of, not because of, Steve Jobs.
Many things I like/appreciate about the man - his obsession over all computers being sealed was NOT one of his more endearing characteristics. Obviously he was flexible - we had Mac's with slots back then and we do now too. But there has been no "regression" since his passing.
Hardly!
