Add to that his statements are inconsistent:

* Macs lead to some sort of higher status in his view.
* Hospitals work to be seen as having higher status.
* Yet hospitals do not use Macs.

It makes no sense. Of course the reality is few people or groups, if any,
get Macs for whatever "status" he thinks they offer... they get them for the
value they offer. And many hospitals are using HealthKit and iPads. I showed
links to back this elsewhere.

Not about status... it is about what the platform offers. Productivity,
efficiency, and error-reduction. This is what I keep focusing on and what
really matters.
