By Graham K. Rogers

Surely you didn't get this far? You must have realised that was a parody. It was suggested by a local Mac user who is just as annoyed as I am by the number of negative speculative articles on Apple that have as their basis little more than a hint of an idea. Fortune has been especially good at this in recent times.

Graham K. Rogers teaches at the Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University in Thailand. He wrote in the Bangkok Post, Database supplement on IT subjects. For the last seven years of Database he wrote a column on Apple and Macs. He is now continuing that in the Bangkok Post supplement, Life.
