there was life after the Apple III and the Lisa, I certainly expect life
after the RT;  maybe IBM will buy AT&T to get some new ideas   ((-:
oh, and let's not forget to mention the Mac 128k, which was relatively useless
all things considered (flaky hardware, no software, insufficient power)

aren't you glad that "just enough" of us bought a 128k Mac in 1984 (and used
them as doorstoppers) to allow Apple to make it to 1985 (and the arrival of
cheaper 256k RAM-chips) so that the "rest of you" could get on the bandwagon.
Isn't anyone ever going to say thanks ???
