Woah! Woah! woah... WHOA! Hold it just a minute Aloe!
Let's not get off the track here. We're talking screw-ups! Not un-Alomex choices.
The one button mouse is my personal preference. There is no way that is a screw-up!
Who, in 1981, could have predicted that Motorola would lag the mhz race in Y2K? Or even 1984 for that matter? I like my Motorola processor, no matter what you or Intel may have to say about it. It's fast. It's quiet. It doesn't require a FAN!... mounted directly on the CPU or otherwise.
AppleTalk was pure genius. At that time (1985-1990), Wintel lackies had nothing to compare to it. We don't care about that anymore. We all use Ethernet.
I'll grant you one screw-up identified with the hocky-puck mouse and chintzy glamour puss key board crap. But just one, as it was the same screw-up.
But have you completely forgot about the Apple III, the first Apple with two processors? What about the $10,000, slow as the Queen Mary, Lisa? And talk about screw-ups! What about letting Bill Gates and company in on the ground floor of a brand new jaw dropper operating system just to get advance support from Microsoft for Multiplan? And then letting the extortionist bastard have his way with Microsoft BASIC by killing MacBASIC! How about the stupid, stupid act of dropping the original infringement lawsuit against Microsoft?
My point is that Apple has made some colossal mistakes in the past and recovered quite well, totally unlike the hack's depiction.
