Steve Johnson Summarize Quotations

Well, that was interesting. I just thought I'd try to bask a little longer in the afterglow of yesterday's firestorm over my simple declaration that my wife and I had a hard time getting an Apple product up and running with anywhere near the simplicity that lore would have them possess. I managed to post more than 180 comments and there were another 80 or so that were either too obscene, too repetitive or just plain too many to put up before I turned off the 'comments' feature. I'll attempt to summarize and respond to the main threads of the, um, conversation.
