The Jokes on Jobs
"Where are the jokes?" Steve Jobs used to ask when looking over proofs of the early Macintosh documentation. "I want more jokes." Not only is Steve Jobs no more kind than Bill Gates, he's probably less kind, and always has been. But Steve knows the value of a good joke and Bill still doesn't.
Got a clever Steve Jobs or Apple Computer joke? C'mon, we can take it (as long as it's actually funny, of course :-). Send it in (to "MacJokes", at this domain), and if it makes us chuckle, we'll post it.
