Indeed, and what a suprise it was! iPhone running OS X and not Mac OS  
X, Apple Inc, instead of Apple Computer. No iLife / iWork / iMac /  
iScreen announcements. Does this mean that we have to look for  
another favorite TiBook maker instead?

It was funny how people were people everywhere you went, even if the  
people concerned weren't the people the people who made up the phrase  
"people are people everywhere" had traditionally thought of as  
people. And even if you weren't virtuous, as you had been brought up  
to understand the term, you did like to see virtue in other people,  
provided it didn't cost you anything.
