Apple's First Flops

Sabah Arif writes "Apple began the eighties with two major flops under its belt: the Apple III and the LISA. Both machines were attempts at breaking into the business market. They were technologically advanced, but major flaws prevented their success."

Poor, poor article

This article reads like a book report turned in by a not-so-bright eighth grader. Gad. Just because you can type doesn't mean you should write.

C'est crap.

Apple IIGS- First and Last Apple

Ah yes. Another reason why I'll never have another Appple computer product again. No support, no games, no harddrive, no future. I don't even look at Apple Computer after that one. I hold a grudge forever. The only good thing I remember is playing Bard's Tale on that that old thing way back in the day and that for writing school papers it beat the hell out of a typewriter.

The G5 was fast 2 years ago. Now, we have dual core x86 chips running faster than ever. Apple's one update to the G5 Powermac line in the meantime was so pathetic as to be hilarious.

*sucking air through teeth* They're still tempting, but I don't want to end up with something that's just going to annoy me.

ahh.. c'mon.. you know you want one... glistening brushed steel case... smooth silent running.... polite little 'boing' sound at boot....
seriously though, I have it hooked up to IIyama Vision Master pro 19 inch and it's fine, also on the Compaq 1720 tft it's good. I have seen them on Samsung and on apple's tft's.. believe me it's fine. I would advise you to go to the shop and see for yourself.
