Yes, it's true. But I didn't buy a Macintosh in 1984 or 1985 or 1986 either.
In 1985, there wasn't enough software and it wasn't clear that Apple was going
to make it. (It wasn't until the Plus and, more importantly, the LaserWriter
that the Macintosh truly became a useful machine.) The Next is neat. Hopefully
Next will "make it." I personally would wait and see.
