@andypiper @jaredwhite
indeed!!! abfab super article and ones more getting deeply disappointed by #apple - makes me feel sad...
—some horrible throught..
"What I don’t at all believe is that there’s demand for people wanting to generate sloppified fictions of friends and loved ones in any meaningful way.
@andypiper @jaredwhite
am even considering to get rid of my fancy mac collection, starting with that apple portable that i suddenly had to work with... jeezes..
@andypiper @jaredwhite
well, my then fantastic assistant insisted to carry that thing, since they were dragging a then called 'mobile phone' with the other arm —keeping them in balance ;)
@andypiper @jaredwhite
but.. anyone eventually interested in my mac collection..?
mainly a bunch of 'laptop' macs, mb's, an SE30, da 'portable' with trackerball —hilarious!, some ipads, iphones, ipods, manuals (0.7, etc..), CD/DVDs, cassettes with systems, apps, weird extras, apple network gear, wires, stickers, and a free chat, lecture, course ore story on how this magic 'reality distortion field' actually works...
—reach out!

@andypiper @jaredwhite
it makes me, and for sure many mainly visually-oriented artists like me feel sick.
we made apple.
and that was steve's drive; the form is function and function is form. in & outside. with a bit of 'realitiy distortion', yah.. but don't overdo it, please, #apple ?
— i'm about to trash my treasures.
please save them ;)
@zzepposs @andypiper @jaredwhite of course I want your SE/30 but in all conscience, eBay it. You’ll get more than you think!
