Well, I'd rather see Gore on Apple's Board than as President... cause at least Steve is still running the show.

l is also an avid Mac user and does his own video editing in Final Cut Pro," said Steve Jobs

An out and out lie. Al used to be a Mac user, but late in the 90's he ditched it for a PC. There was a question posed to him during the 2000 campaign about it, where he him and himmers about it, then finally confesses (and I'm paraphrasing cause I can't find the original article"... "Yeah, I had to finally switch to a PC due to there being no applications for the Mac anymore... But I really like the new xxxxx" (xxx - I can't remember which Mac he praised, either the iMac or the iBook). Typical poltical answer. Translation. "Yeah, I used to use a Mac, but I was pressured in to switching because my campaign manager said it's better to identify with the 95% who use PCs than the 5% who use Macs"...

I don't know how this really affects anything though. Everybody knows Steve Jobs runs the show at Apple. The Board there is usually just a bunch of yes men anyway...

The funny part about the story I read is Steve saying that Gore brings so much to the table, after all he has been part of running the government.

My thoughts are.. "Damn, and what a fine tuned machine the government is."



Now all we need is Bill Gates on the board. I am not sure who is worse?
