Indeed.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

I don't know what it is with Apple and making computers smaller and smaller. I would rather have the existing form factor (power button on the front, please) and user replaceable memory and storage.

I'm sure Tim Cook would be in a tizzy if his coffeemaker had the power button on the bottom.

On the other hand, while the computers are getting smaller and smaller, the phones are getting larger and larger.

…..that’s what she said……!!!!!

I do need a larger and larger screen on my phone, if not a larger phone.

And macOS and iOS converge as well. A few more iterations and we won't be able to tell which is which.

I think I might have pushed the power button on my M1 Mac Mini last year.

User replaceable memory would cripple the machine.
Monitors can be connected to iPhones now, pretty kewl!

I can't wait especially with the iPadOS, which is much closer to iOS than to MacOS!

I've always been frustrated--and end up not using the iPad as much as I'd like--with the major differences that Apple insists on keeping between iPad and Mac OS's.

While I don't have as big a concern with the size of the Mini (but why are there only 3 Thunderbolt ports when the iMac has 4?), but Apple manages to always make design decisions that introduce unnecessary complications mostly for aesthetic reasons, which are rendered irrelevant by all the wires and dongles that we have to attach to make the machines useful.

.....many like looking at....bottoms.....
