Assess the following as probably true, as probably false, as requiring further documentation before judgment, or as a claim that cannot properly be evaluated. Consider both the nature of the claim and the source."Apple's history is more like a soap opera than a corporate biography."-Macworld magazine, March 1997

What will be an ideal response?


Probably true. We're tempted to give this a straightforward "probably true," both because of what is common knowledge about Apple Computer and because of the general trustworthiness of the magazine (one of the two major ones devoted to Macintosh users). But obviously, the comparison here is extraordinarily vague-and this is the most important thing to say about this quotation.
