> few of those people you see sitting around typing on their MacBooks are doing anything that will be of value 5, 10, or 20 years from now.

I mean, the people "typing on their MacBooks" combined together have resulted in a company with THE highest value ever in human history, and is copied by all the other companies that you champion.

1. This morning MSFT's market cap is higher than AAPLs.

2. But that's not how "most valuable" is usually rated by analysts: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alapshah/2018/08/02/apple-hits-...

3. There are privately held companies that are probably "more valuable", like Saudi Aramco

4. I don't know what I've done (which you asked in your original post), but I know I'm not a fanboy/shill/astroturfer for Apple.

Alright, so ONE of the highest valued companies ever.

No, you're just a hateful individual suffering from brand envy.

See? Assumptions are easy and fun indeed!
