Works on macs and PC's for clients, is a member of this list, knows his stuff but always seems somewhat bitter towards Apple, at least since OS X. (And speaking of Apple stock... holy crap! Doubles in past three months!) Dan? What gives? Apple apparently has not turned into the company you wanted it to be. Five years ago I don't think any one on this list would have envisioned the current product line and marketing.
