Business Week Mac columnist departs with a simple request

The final article by
departing Business Week columnist Alex Salkever is an interesting summary of his more than twenty-year love affair with the Macintosh.
There were the early years of youthful abandon, the endless games of Castle Wolfenstein. The dark years that followed saw his faith waver. But Steve Jobs' turnaround of the company made him fall in love all over again.

The stint at Business Week gave him a chance to delve deep: "I've learned a lot — not least that writing about Apple is a more consuming activity than covering any other technology company." You can say that again!

Salkever leaves with a parting wish:

One last note to you, Steve. I need a new Apple laptop, but I'm waiting for the G5 version. I know you have one
tucked away in the labs somewhere. You've solved most of the engineering problems with jamming this hot-running chip
into a small footprint with the new streamlined iMac. Is it too much to hope for one for Christmas?  

 

Hey Steve: make that two votes for one righteous stocking stuffer.
