BOSS: Steve Jobs’ latest attempt to gain marketshare makes no sense.
ALEX: Oooh! This is so cool!
ALICE: Well it seems to be working.
BOSS: Yes, but there is no profit from it! People all over the world are getting iMacs for free.
ALEX: I wonder if it has Solitaire…
ALICE: Maybe Steve is wiling to take an initial loss for future gains.
BOSS: That does not sound like the Steve Jobs I know. He demands profit in all things.
ALEX’S COMPUTER: Apple has determined there is a software update available for OSX. Update software now? Y/N
BOSS: No, he would not have done this if he had not discovered a way to make money hand over fist from it — but I cannot determine what it is.
(ALEX clicks his mouse.)
ALEX’S COMPUTER: Apple has determined that you are attempting to run Apple software on unauthorized hardware. This violates the Apple terms of service. Apple will now melt your machines into a heap of slag. If you wish to continue using Apple software, please buy genuine authorized Apple hardware at your nearest Apple store.
BOSS: I think I may have figured it out.
