Once -1990- I devised this abracadabra, a world of computers interconnected cheap and easy to use computers. They would be Mac computers running over a ISDN networks.

It didn't happen. The Internet too it over dial up lines.

Apple is Getting Ripe
n a previous letter I have informed that Apple was ”in the [strategic shopping] list of several deep-pocketed U.S. buyers” and, “the Apple Macintosh is posed to be the ISDN terminal which was missing”.
Apple seems not to be wasting time. “Bill Atkinson...has joined fellow Apple alumni Andy Hertzfeld and Mark Porat in a new Apple venture called General Magic. Hertzfeld and Atkinson have each reportedly invested $1 million in the venture to produce a line of products Apple is calling Personal Intelligent Communicators. Published reports have speculated that the units will have sophisticated videophones. Apple is a minority participant...and holds the first nonexclusive license to manufacture and market the company’s products.” Macuser,Oct. 1990.
Watch out for the Apple Macintosh with an ISDN interface.
