Richard Branson Envies Apple

You all should know who he is: the CEO of Virgin Group -- a conglomeration of 350 companies. In the 3-14-05 MacLean's magazine there is an interview with him. All interesting, but I have to share one question and answer.

Q: Do you envy any other brands?
A: Apple has reinvented itself a number of times and is one of the companies I most respect. From products to innovation to overall panache, they've been brilliant.

In related and unrelated news, I'm not sure if I mentioned it, I am on the waiting list to fly Virgin Galactic when they begin scheduled space flights later this decade. Yeehaw! I'm betting Branson makes Virgin Galactic fly (pun intended).
