Message-ID: <5262@umcp-cs.UUCP> Date: Sat, 18-Feb-84 00:32:25 EST Article-I.D.: umcp-cs.5262 Posted: Sat Feb 18 00:32:25 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 19-Feb-84 02:48:13 EST Organization: Univ. of Maryland, Computer Science Dept. Lines: 13 I agree with all of you that Macintosh and Lisa/2 are neat and snaz-ee machines and wonderful to look at on the inside. But these are techy raves. It will take more than a superior technology to defeat IBM... just as IBM was capable of capturing the market with an inferior technology. Remember that IBM already has a huge client base and an even larger VAD and retail/service network for its PC. Technology alone won't save Apple... nor will it defeat IBM (but we can hope and pray heh heh).
