        WoW was introduced in 04 or 05 and the first iPhone was 07 depending on how you trace iPhone lineage that’s not exactly correct.

        If we trace iPhone back via PDA’s we have to start talking Newton which was out by the early to mid 90’s so it predates Steve’s return so it was definitely a twinkle in his eyes.

        I used Gentoo in that timeframe and it wasn’t exactly a simple process to get any Linux running on a laptop (desktops were different I’m sure) which is why I used Gentoo. I figured if I was going to have to search and compile shit I might as well compile the whole thing.

      Shit, I’m still waiting for the day macos (I assume that is what we are actually talking about here) is usable.
