The Altair and the Apple I both shipped in 1976 I think. Apple had sold almost a million personal computers before the "first PC" from IBM booted.

The 733 for $1699 has a different processor with less cache than the $3400 on that preceeded it. Plus the more expensive on has the DVD-R-CD-RW Superdrive that retails for about $900. It is not like it is the same machine in any respect that went from $3400 to $1699 in an hour, it is not even the same processor.

It was all rant and dull rant at that. There are 3 reasons to read brain drool like this:
1. It interesting
2. It is not interesting but makes you think of other things that are interesting
3. It is not interesting nor does it make you think of other interesting things but it is well written
Unfortunately we all read it for the worst reason: it was posted on/.
