Remember how we laughed at IBM for making their uses need at least 2 MB to
run OS/2 and how complicated their software was?  

Does anyone REALLY like having to go out and buy more memory just to run
an operating system (I agree its a great OS, but now I hafta sink $200
just to use it!)?  Does anyone really like knowing that their machines
can't make full use of all the functions of an operating system?

Does anyone really like Word 4.0 and it's 4.756*10^6 menus?

"The machine for the rest of us" has now become "The machine for those lucky
enough to have the memory and 68030 CPU or a 68020 with a PMMU."

P.S. I still love my Mac and would never let an IBM replace it.  Maybe a
NeXT, but not an IBM :^).  It's just ironic to see someof those things we've
always hated in an IBM come to us now.
