"The single most important thing we can do in our lifetimes is educate our children well. We need the bst possible teachers and we have to give them the best possible tools. Today's best tools are computers and the best computers are Macs. Any questions?"
"The operational friendliness of the Mac, its speed and reliability, makes my work go faster and frees my mind to concentrate on teaching and scientific problems rather than on the finicky details involved in using other systems."
"There are few tasks as urgent as improving the quality of our children's education and computers keep playing an increasingly vital role in learning at school and at home. Let's have an Apple for every child! "

"I am a time traveler from the past and I have seen the future. The future gets clearer the farther back you travel in time. It sounds a bit strange, but it's true. Because I've seen how the Macintosh has changed design history, I know how important it is going to be in the future of design. "
"I guess I use a Mac because I don't have time to learn how to use a computer."
"Apple's engineers figured out that just as people prefer not to start their cars with a crank, prefer not to sweat in hot weather, prefer machines to wash their dishes, so people want their computers to work for them, and not the reverse."
