Has you seen Barron's company profile on Apple Computer Corp.? Here's the link, though I'm not sure if you have to be subscribed to make the link work. interactive.wsj.com Only one exception worth noting: In their description of the original Macintosh they referred to it as having too little memory and no hard drive. While the statement is true in retrospect, at the time 64K was the norm. The 128K Mac doubled consumer's expectation of available RAM which was soon matched and then doubled again to 256K by Wintels. At that time, few PCs were sold with a hard drive. Two 5 1/4" floppies were expensive enough. Hard drives were very expensive options indeed. Otherwise a great article detailing Apple's history to the present day. Good hunting, HerbVic
