I read the title and thought "so what? Anyone can pull up an old blog post" but then I read it and I'm glad I stumbled onto this. Gruber gets a lot of flack from people claiming he far too biased even for an Apple fanboy but I think it's interesting to see this first post where he's quite fair and certainly critical with a hint of skepticism as to whether Apple could follow up on its recent success at the time.<p>As Apple succeeded over time his positions make total sense to me and don't quite seem as skewed as many often claim.
