And I think, for me, a lot of it is due to what I feel Woz and Jobs'
original vision for Apple was - To change the world.

I *like* being part of a company and a community that is, through it's
industrial and software design and through the wonderful people I have met
at Apple and in the Community, *actively* trying to make the computing
experience one of excitement, creativity, fun and "specialness", however you
define that.

It feels like it's *not* "just a business" to Apple. It feels like Apple is
trying to do the best it can in whatever it sets its mind to.

Granted, I may be just rationalizing my feelings towards Apple and the Mac
Community but if I am, don't correct me. :-)
