I guess I was wrong when I wrote this song parody in 2001: March 22, 2001: "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" Steve Jobs was back at Apple, the blue iMac was out, Microsoft was in big anti-trust trouble and had just invested $100m in Apple, Steve had bought out NeXT. But the future wasn't yet assured: This won't be easy, you'll think it's strange. When we try to explain what we need that we now need your help after all that we've said. You won't believe us. All you'll see is Apple you once knew, although we've crashed down in the dumps begging for Microsoft cash. It didn't have to happen. We should have won Better software and patents than Bill Looking down on Windows, staying far from Sun. So we chose NeXT. Running aground, trying computers in blue. But nothing revived us at all. You never expected it too. Don't cry for us, William H. Gates. The truth is we're dead without you. We need your dollars We need Mac Office You need a rival, for your survival. And as for Fortune, and as for Time, We never invited them in though it appeared, to the world, they were all Steve desired. Even Adobe, they're making solutions for Windows right now The answer was here all the time. We need you, and hope you need us. [chorus] Have we begged too much? There's nothing more we can think of to say to you. But all you have to do, is look at us to know, we're through without you.
