UMMMM.. I think I might have been talking about kids, not professional ballplayers, but then again, that would have taken away from your stupid comment.

Also Regarding Apple, As a child of the computer generation, although Apple was very popular at school, most kids still had a PC at home during this same timeframe, (heck thier games were way better). As the Apple was too expensive to own for many people, where the vic 20, and the Commadore 64 was widly used, also IBM went after the apple market strong with thier products, and created an easier software compatibility.

However, Talk to most computer experts, and you will find out that the FAR superior product and computer innovation comes from Apple. Thier prduct is better because they don't comprimise the products abilities by making it simple. Eg. the original Apple O/S is more or less Windows. But a good Windows took 10-15 yrs (some say still haven't) to comeout on the IBM Compatibles.

So the apple example really shows how the general public would prefer to do what is easy rather than what is better. It sounds like the umpire community is just the same.
