Yes, the PowerBook 100 was not the first 'portable Mac' -- but it was the first to bear the name PowerBook." And of all the (handful) of portables I've owned, I have to admit that I've had the fewest problems with and most affection for the PowerBooks (and now an iBook).

If Apple had not made the biggest blunder in their history and refused to open the specs to their hardware. Open standards always win. Apple can release all of the new machines, power laptops, and pretty looking cases that they want, it won't change anything.

The truth is Apple made a blunder bigger than even the guy from Washington that sold Bill Gates exclusive rights to QDOS for $50000.
