Hey, you know what?
Have I ever said goodnight to my kids…
... from the other side of the country…
... and it taken around a gig of data?
Because with my iPhone, I did.

ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think?

@npub1psd…9sr7 tbf Steve looked like a Borg Cube to his competition too, after they started learning the lesson from the iTunes Music Store and what he "did to the labels".

ok so the thing about the thing that does 85% of what everyone needs it to do and you have 15% of unique individual needs is _kind of_ a philosophical (reality-based?) knock against the iPad in the iPad vs Computer debate in that right now, a general purpose computer will _always_ be capable of that last 15%, whereas iPads can't. And you might be the kind of person who can't forecast or anticipate when you might need that 15%, or you might be the person who always knows it’ll come up
