Why do people always quote the highest price Apple product as if Apple doesn’t have any computer that costs less than $3000?

There is the Mac Mini and the MacBook Air.

It’s just like people quote the price of a maxed out iPhone XS Max as if the iPhone 7 doesn’t exist.

But not everyone wants to be a developer any more than everyone wants to be a car mechanic, plumber, electrician, etc.

Did Ford have a negative effect on transportation because it was much easier to “fuel” a horse than a car?

If I'd never heard of Steve Jobs and NeXT, NeXTSTEP or how much it influenced everything from Berners-Lee's ideas about the WWW, object-oriented programming or a dozen other things, um, still no.

I learned to program on an Apple II. OSX's embrace of UNIX got me out of the Windows world, etc.

So I strongly disagree.

He did. I've always said Microsoft was the most important company of the 20th century.
