I wish I had been old enough in the late 70s to start a company in my garage. My plan would be to make computers until I had gotten a big enough company that we could take over the business of selling record players.
I have a plan

After computers and now music players, there's only one place for Apple to go next: the iPen. Write Different.
30 years ago you probably wouldn't have wanted to sell record players, you would've wanted to sell magazines, opinions and journals.
Aside from the phone and media center, I'm not sure what Apple will do next. I would like to know what people want from Apple? What is a product you wish Apple would make (better)?
maybe we should start a company in our garage that makes loads of record players and one day we'll be able to take over the business of selling computers....
Why are you writing cheeky little tidbits like this? Aren't you supposed to be working on the upcoming acquisition of DeadJournal?
I want Apple to make all their current products better, always room for improvement ;) I wish their stuff was a bit more user-servicable... but I believe people trade that for cheapness.
