It matters because one brother is clearly lying. Neil insists that he thought of the phrase spontaneously on the moon and that he was humble and said "for a man", but his brother says he's lying on both counts, that he had the phrase pre-planned months earlier, and didn't intend it to be quite as humble. So there is meaning here. Either the brother is lying, or Neil was more dishonest than he'd have us believe.

Consoles don't come close to what I have on my PC and have never been an option. I loathe all things made by Apple, so that's also never an option. Linux, as far as I know, still required you to use a command-line-interface sometimes, (no thanks, I had enough in the 90's) or mess with klunky configuration files. If I could switch to Linux with full software compatibility, I might, but that'll probably never happen.

If an author wants to upload a book to Apple's iBookstore, they can only do it from a mac. Furthermore, you can't even link to books in the ibookstore from the world wide web, unlike books for Kindle or Nook, whose bookstores are easily accessed from the web. When it comes to ebooks, Apple is a private system, segregated from the web. I wouldn't be surprised it they tried to take this further in the future and have their own private Apple-branded Internet for Apple fanboys alone where they'll never have to read a message like this one.

Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win. -- Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love"
