C reflects on A le%26#039 great turnaround

I'll admitit, when I was in college (early 90's), I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that A le's days were numbered.After Steve's departure and the parade of boring, beige boxes that followed (not to mention the bad pre , failedNewton and the ultimate vaporware, Copeland) I begrudgingly admitted that it might be time to learn Windows. The rest,as they say, is a different story.

C Money takes a nice look at A le's turnaround from down-and-outcomputer company to the darling that it has become. My favorite quote from the article:

"A le hasstruck a cultural nerve, e ecially with Generation X and Gen Y, while Windows and PC are viewed in e ence as 'Myparents' computer',' said Tim Bajarin, president of technology research firm Creative Strategies."

I love it. Windows as the Buick of the computer world. You can read the full article here.
