JDL's Profile

I wasn't into computers when the Mac came out and I don't doubt that it was a difficult transition. It was sort of an Osborne effect with the Mac competing against the Lisa, the Apple III and the Apple II, but I doubt that we would have Apple Computers today if they hadn't produced the Mac. The Lisa wasn't going to compete with IBM (at least not with price and software) and the Apple III was a sinking ship before it was even shipped. Jobs didn't mention it yesterday, but never the less, it was the most important transition to date. We won't know for sure if this is a great thing or if it death, but we wouldn't even be debating this if Steve hadn't jumped in head-first a few times. He isn't infallible, but I will choose to trust him again. This is nothing like the mid 90’s; have a bit more faith in the Man. JDL
