While I might relent and say that one-button mouse maybe, just maybe, is a matter of personal preference, the CPU is another story. Read on:

Who, in 1981, could have predicted that Motorola would lag the mhz race in Y2K? Or even 1984 for that matter?


I'm not talking 1981 or 1984. By 1989 it was clear Motorola had lost the race. That was the time to say "betting on Motorola once seemed sensible, but no longer so. Let's pick up the pieces and move as smoothly as possible to the intel architecture".

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.


Yes AppleTalk was brilliant. But at some point Ethernet won. Did Apple pick up the pieces and move on? No. In fact Apple was the last major manufacturer to support TCP/IP.
