Oh poor Microtards,

ALL of these “flops” from Apple came out more than 10 years ago.
Hindsight is 20/20, but it is interesting to note that at least 4 of the 8 were absolutely revolutionary – and even WAY too advanced – for their time (only to be let down by stupid consumers not realizing that they will need digital cameras in the near future, TV integrated PCs and so on…) and then of course the technology of the age was just not on par with the thinking: Newton is now iPhone, Apple ITB is now Apple TV and the G4 cube is now the iMac.

But the day that Microsoft and PC makers start realizing the importance of the end user experience and DESIGN, maybe then you’ll realize what Apple Inc. has been on about forever, and why that was the one thing that Bill could not steal from Steve,

Hi to – irritated (January 7th, 2008 at 4:42 pm)

Hey … umm … in these days of abbreviated, but still intelligible Internet writing (Inet Speak), we really don’t have time for you.

Also, whilst on the subject, perhaps you might like to revise your basic punctuation!
