And which music player did you have which allowed you to download music to it?
And which tablet are you using?
Haters gonna hate.

I had a TI-99/4A computer.
A Diamond Rio mp3 player long before the IPod existed.
A PC tablet that ran Windows XP years before the IPad existed.
I'll admit the Apple ][, IPod, and even the IPhone were fantastic when they first came out, but the IPad is only popular because Apple now has great marketing making their products status symbols.

I get that you ATTEMPTED a joke there, too bad there was no humor in it. ;)
I'm so glad to see flash go. Adobe had the internet in a choke hold. Flash is a wonderful platform, but adobe refused to make it open-source even though it was so curcial to a modern website. It was a dick move on their part. It would be like making HTML closed-source. This closed source code meant that your browser would only display 50% of the internet properly unless adobe got around to porting a flash plugin for your particular browser. This became a nightmare once smart phones and web-enabled appliances came out. In a world where everything from your portable, to your e-reader to your game console to your tv all have internet access we need to kill flash as quickly as possible.
Regarding apple, they did actually make good products back in the 80's, the "new" apple simply chruns out over-priced crap that the hipster elite eat up because it's been made "pretty".
That is a GOOD thing though. I was a super early adopter of mp3 players. Before the ipod they were all crap. Post ipod they got a lot better. That being said the ipod isn't the pan-ultimate mp3 player (I actually prefer the zune believe it or not) but they managed to get the public in a frenzy about music players that made other companies invest actual time and money in theirs, which improved the products they made.
The i-phone is a piece of crap. They literally took a new ipod and tacked on a cell phone feature. I mean it's great unless you actually use it to MAKE PHONE CALLS in which case you have no signal and about 10 minutes of battery life.
The i-pad is a much better product... they have removed the pre-tense that it is anything other than an expensive toy. That being said you can get an actual tablet computer... not a smart phone on steroids, for the prices they are asking.
Steve Jobs isn't a uber elite tech guru deified by his recent death.
He is a used car salesman. He used his extreme talent of getting you excited about crap you don't need to make apple a success and nothing more.
People that think he had anything to do with apple's recent products are living in a dream world.
It would be like saying Reggie had anything to do with the development of the Wii. He sold it to us, and that's about it. (Or insert your favorite console's marketing exec here... quite frankly microsoft and sony go through them like used tissues so I can't keep track.)
That being said, if you like apple products great! You should buy them and enjoy them! But don't think that they are the best in their class by any margin, they are simply the best marketed in their class, which actually means a lot. I mean heck look at what it did for windows and the pc. (BURN!!!)
