The Necromancer, Sauron, created the “one ring” to control them all. But there were 9 other rings given to mortal men (and Jobs was clearly mortal). We could probably come up with a sequel to the Hobbit: From Silicon Valley to Redmond - There and Back Again! As for topography, Mt. Hood is definitely more impressive than Mt. Tamalpais. It would not be hard to cast the 9 wring wraiths… Bezos, Brin, Ballmer, Zuckerberg . . . And perhaps by the end of the movie we would learn who the Necromancer really is - Gates or Jobs. Regards Craig By the way, the iRing story did not ring true. Just another analyst at work. On Apr 3, 2013, at 2:06 PM, Cliff Benham <flyback1@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hmm.
