Steve Jobs Is a Genius
    		Twenty years ago I figured Apple was a goner. By then  nearly every non-PC platform -- the Amiga, Atari, etc. -- were either dead or  dying. I just couldn't see the Mac or Apple surviving. 
But Steve Jobs is way smarter than me, and during his  second reign (remember when he got fired from his own company?) built Apple  into a computing and electronics powerhouse. 
Turns out the Mac isn't all that important after all. Sales  of iPods, iPhones, iPads, along with applications and music are where the real  money is.
All that led to Apple now having a market cap larger than  Microsoft. 
The lesson here? Never bet against Steve Jobs.
What is your favorite Apple product? Is Jobs a genius, a  control freak or both? Answers welcome at [email protected].
