I'm just curious as to what brought you to that conclusion? Was something said?

The last few years I've been sitting around kicking dirt waiting for an OSX convertible type of machine, I know there's never been any talk of it, but I figured if anyone could make it correctly it'd be Apple.

I've given up at this point. It almost feels like I was suffering from Stockholm syndrome looking back at it.

Why were you sitting around waiting for a convertible when they've said on the record multiple times they were never going to make OSX touch based? All the way from Steve Jobs to the CNET interview with Schiller, Federighi and Ive.

Hey now, Apple also said nobody wants a stylus and that no one's going to buy a "big" phone!

Stylus for main input ≠ Drawing stylus.

One is overshadowed by multi-touch while the other is needed by professionals among others.

Pure hopeful speculation based on listening to Gruber, Marco (ATP) and Leo Laporte
